Is it possible to have different images as background of the title bar for post listings of different categories?
I tried to add images with the plugin Categories Images but these don't show up in the category listing.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/categories-images/
There is a custom code to add to the template but I'm not sure where to add it.
Or is there another way to do this?

    Hello:-)

    I don't think that this plugin will know how layout of our theme is made;-)

    If you want dif
    ferent images for different categories then you will have to use custom CSS.

    Please show me link to your example category and I will give you instructions what to do.

    With kind regards.

    Of course they don't know how your template is made ;) But the plugin site says:
    Use <?php if (function_exists('z_taxonomy_image_url')) echo z_taxonomy_image_url(); ?>
    to get the url and put it in any img tag or simply use
    <?php if (function_exists('z_taxonomy_image')) z_taxonomy_image(); ?>
    in (category or taxonomy) template.

    I'm not sure where to add this code.

    Oooo like this you say. Still it won't work cause we define them in user.css file that is created dynamically.

    Use this custom CSS: 

    .posts-list.category-my-weddings .title-bar.outside {
        background-image: url(http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/LM-568.jpg);
    }
    .posts-list.category-trends-tips .title-bar.outside {
        background-image: url(http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/otherimage.jpg);
    }
    As you can see you just change slug of your category. You can see what you should exactly use by viewing source of your page while viewing category and look for <body> element.
    <body id="top" class="archive category category-trends-tips ...

    With kind regards.
