Woocommerce show subcategory thumbnail on category page

1 Views

On the category page there are different products in the same category which are assigned to a subcategory. Below a single product I want to show the thumbnail of the subcategory which the product is assigned to. I’ve used this code to show the thumbnail: 

    <?php 
        global $wp_query;
        $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
        $thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
        $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
        echo wp_get_attachment_image( $thumbnail_id ); 
    ?>

The result is that is shows the thumbnail of the parent category (the category where all these products are in) instead of the subcategory thumbnail.

I hope someone has the answer for me, thanks in advance.

  1. Solved it!

    I replaced the code with the following:

    <?php
    $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
    foreach ( $terms as $term ){
        $category_name = $term->name;
        $category_thumbnail = get_woocommerce_term_meta($term->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true);
        $image = wp_get_attachment_url($category_thumbnail);
        echo '<img src="'.$image.'">';
    }
?>

  2. The WooCommerce reference say to do this in themes/yourtheme/functions.php

        add_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description', 'woocommerce_category_image', 2 );
function woocommerce_category_image() {
    if ( is_product_category() ){
        global $wp_query;
        $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
        $thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
        $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
        if ( $image ) {
            echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="" />';
        }
    }
}
