    I am trying to have a banner placed at the top of categories, but it only shows in the breadcrumbin stead of the top of the content

    See here for example – https://homeautomationcompany.co.uk/product-category/wiim/

    The banner image is uploaded as the custom header image, the settings have been set to on top of content

    Not the greatest of answers, why would I want to setup a static block every time, oddly it says add customer header image and in the settings there is an option of where do you want the banner

    But having to go off and create a static block and etc is a load of unnecessary work!

    Hello, @finleydesign,

    Thank you for your response.

    1/ Custom page heading image for this category means: The image appears under the breadcrumb of the page.

    2/ It is possible to use the same category image for all categories on a website or platform. However, in our theme, We understand that you are interested in adding a banner or image across all categories on your website. To accomplish this, please follow the steps outlined below:

    1. Navigate to the ‘XStore’ section in your website’s dashboard.
    2. Proceed to ‘Theme Options’ and select ‘WooCommerce’.
    3. Click on ‘Shop’ and then ‘Shop Page Layout’.
    4. Locate the ‘Banner Position & Banner Content’ settings.
    5. Here, you can insert the specific static block shortcode that you wish to display as your banner.
    6. Once you have entered the shortcode, ensure that you click ‘Publish’ to save and apply the changes.

    For your convenience, we have provided an image to serve as a visual reference for the aforementioned process. https://ibb.co/pvN0zPq

    We trust that these instructions will effectively address your requirements. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

    I understand what your saying, just the outcome is the opposite of what seems to be being achieved, its not a custom page heading image, it’s a background for the breadcrumbs!

    I also understand the advantage of having a header image, but the same one across all categories isn’t really a feature! makes the website looking very boring having the same image.

    Having an option to set a category header and descriptions is a much better look

    In simple terms I just considered that the custom header image, would be a header image which would appear above content of the category, so that way you can do branded banners for each category

    Having to go via shortcode for static blocks is all too much work for just adding an image each time

    Hello, Finleydesign,

    We hope this message finds you well. Could you please confirm if you have had the opportunity to review the content in the Private Content area of my previous correspondence?

    Additionally, I would like to inform you that to incorporate just an image, the creation of a static block is not necessary. We have already prepared a simple example for your convenience.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.
