Set up of Classified Categories

Create Icons

First create your icon which will be your link from the top level classifieds page. To create your icon -

• Open Canva and there is a template in the Linku2 folder
• Amend as required
• Save this image which is 64 x 64 dimensions
• At this stage use this image in both the small and large icon boxes in your new category

Create Category

Go to WP Engine | Classifieds | Categories

• Add New category name and short description
• SAVE
• Then open the category

You will have two options for personalised icons (16 x 16 and 64 x 64)

• Small Icon – this icon is displayed in Categories Widget and [adverts_categories] shortcode when showing “all” categories. Additionally, if you have Maps And Locations add-on and you are using the [adverts_mal_map] shortcode then the selected icons will be used there as well.
• Big Icon – this icon is displayed in [adverts_categories] shortcode when showing top categories only.
