General Questions/New to Joomla! 4.x • Re: Category Images: #joomlaImage://local-images/ --> no longer displaying

Obviously, I didn't get any responses to this. But just in case you run into this issue, I'll tell you what I did to force this to work for me.

Just note that Joomla actively tries to override these changes if you edit the Categories table from the backend.

So I totally bypassed the backend and directly edited the "params" column within the jos_categories table using a MySQL client. Of course, be sure to back up that table first.

What I did was to edit the "params" column by inserting the new subdirectory such as: {"category_layout":"","image":"images/categories/railways-mass-transit.jpg"}"
for each category.

I believe that this matches the old/prior format. At least, its been working fine for me for the past several weeks.

I'm using Joomla 4.4.6 and I'll have to see how this works with Joomla 5.x after I upgrade.
