Download
Version – 2.2.3
Description :
This plugin allows you to associate a unique image with each of your WordPress categories in order to prettify your pages a bit. That will make your category pages look better than 90% of the category pages out there.
Everything is configurable from the settings menu, you can use it on your index (home) page, post pages, or even your sidebar ! You can do icons only, or text and icons, and it comes with a widget for the sidebar. This wonderful plugin :
- displays one or more icons in front of your post title or wherever you want
- displays icons in the sidebar, with or without the category name, with or without the help of the widget
- includes a widget. You can use multiple Category Icons widgets, include or exclude some categories, display only icons (i.e. without the category name)…
- you can make rollover with the icons in the sidebar if you follow this tutorial
- is able to display category icons in your RSS
- will either show you where to place the little code needed (template tag) in your themes
- generates pure html code of the img tag, so it gives you the freedom of doing what you want to with the icons (customizing via CSS or not)
- generates valid XHTML (and Strict XHTML)
- can prioritize the icons display (by Oliver Weichhold)
- is translated in more than 20 languages (all the .po files are included, in case you want to update your language).
- is compatible with these powerful plugins : My Category Order, qTranslate, Recent Posts, SEO Friendly Images, Similar Posts
- is compatible with WordPress Network
There is also a Lite version.

Other Notes :
Translations
I’m looking for volunteers to translate the plugin and maintain the translations up to date. It’s easy to translate it if you use the plugin Easy Translator. All the .po files are included (and the pot file too, of course), in case you want to update a language with poEdit.
