Category featured picture.

Nat-Nat

I have a category called "home and garden" containing a sub-category with 2 galleries (of gardening) and 1 home gallery.
On my main page, the picture illustrating the category must be absolutely the worst picture I have ! :uhoh
take a look if you wish :

I have been trying to change the picture but dont manage ! I can only decide on the galleries featured pictures..
Is there a way ? Heeeeelp !

Hi and welcome.

I unfeatured it. Now, pick a different photo in that category, and go to photo tools, feature photo

Hi Andy!! Err, I still see it. I went to the garden gallery, picked a picture, went to "feature picture" and nothing happened ! I feel slightly retarded ! :uhoh
where do I have to go to assign a special picture to a category ?

"Arrange" the galleries in the category so the other gallery is first. I did that, featured a new photo for you. You can go to that photo, unfeature it, and feature a new one if you like

How did I know

ok, makes sense, but...
...i actually want my sub-category feature photo to come from a different internal gallery, not the first one. i have them ordered by date inside, and don't want to change that. is there any way i can do this? the way i see it, i already pick the best photo for each gallery to feature there, then i want to pick the best one for the sub-category thumbnail just above from among those, which is not necessarily the first one. so i don't mind of course if it's the same image already featured for an inside gallery, though. what do you think? possible?

It hard coded in to draw the featured photo from the first only. That's the
only thing I've heard and that there isn't any options. Just repeating what I've read.
