What’s A Taxonomy?
A taxonomy is a fancy term used to describe things like categories and tags, which help organize your content in WordPress. They are essential for grouping posts, pages, or custom post types in a way that makes sense for your website. You may have already noticed taxonomies in use:
- Posts use categories and tags to organize blog content.
- Divi Projects use categories to group creative work.
- WooCommerce products use taxonomies, such as product categories and tags, to classify items.
You can also create custom taxonomies to organize your content in any way you choose. For example, you might use “Brands” for products, “Genres” for books, or “Services” for a portfolio. Taxonomies can be assigned to any post type to meet your specific needs.

This powerful plugin adds essential taxonomy and category features to your Divi website, helping you organize content visually and improve navigation with intuitive and flexible settings.
Enable Support For Adding Featured Images To Taxonomy Terms
WordPress doesn’t provide built-in support for adding featured images to taxonomy terms like categories and tags. This makes it difficult to visually represent taxonomies across your site. Our Divi Taxonomy Helper plugin adds this missing feature, allowing you to assign featured images to any taxonomy term, just like you would for posts and pages. It works with all default WordPress taxonomies and supports taxonomies from popular plugins.
⚡Quick Highlights
- Assign featured images to categories, tags, or custom taxonomies
- Use images just like you would for posts and pages
- Add visual context to taxonomy-based content
You can learn more about this feature in the Add Images To Taxonomy Terms documentation.
Set Default Featured Images For Each Taxonomy Term
If you don’t want to manually add an image to every taxonomy term or worry about missing one, you can easily set a default image for every term. This feature lets you quickly apply the same image to all your taxonomy terms, saving you time and effort. The default image works seamlessly with the Taxonomy module and dynamic content in the Theme Builder.
⚡Quick Highlights
- Apply default images to terms without a featured image
- Ensure a uniform appearance across your site
- Improve visual cohesion in archives and templates
You can learn more about this feature in the Set Default Taxonomy Featured Images documentation.
Display A Customizable Grid Of Taxonomies In A Divi Module
Our Divi Taxonomy Helper plugin includes a dedicated module that lets you display beautiful and fully customizable taxonomy term layouts. This allows you to display categories, tags, or custom taxonomies in a list or grid, whether it’s WooCommerce product categories, blog post categories, or any other post-type taxonomy. The custom module offers a wide range of content and design settings. Choose which taxonomies to display, control the number of items, select the order, adjust spacing, set column numbers, and customize visibility. With extensive design options, you can modify colors, fonts, borders, spacing, shadows, and much more to perfectly match your site’s style.
⚡Quick Highlights
- Display categories, tags, or custom taxonomies in a grid
- Customize layout, styling, images, and text
- Make your taxonomy content easy to browse
You can learn more about this feature in the Display Taxonomies In Module documentation.
Use Dynamic Taxonomy Featured Images In Divi Theme Builder Templates
Divi’s Theme Builder doesn’t natively support using taxonomy featured images dynamically in templates. Our Divi Taxonomy Helper plugin unlocks this capability, allowing you to insert taxonomy featured images into Theme Builder layouts using dynamic content, making category, tag, and custom taxonomy templates more visually engaging.
⚡Quick Highlights
- Insert taxonomy featured images in Theme Builder layouts
- Enhance category, tag, or custom taxonomy pages
- Create more visually engaging templates
You can learn more about this feature in the Taxonomy Images In Theme Builder documentation.
Show WooCommerce Products By Current Product Category Level
WooCommerce has a significant problem with how products are displayed in the Divi Theme Builder dynamic category pages. In most WooCommerce stores, products are organized into multiple levels of categories, but the Divi Woo Products module displays products without considering their specific category hierarchy, leading to a confusing shopping experience for customers. Our Divi Taxonomy Helper plugin solves this by adding a setting to the Divi Woo Products module, which allows you to display products from the current category level. This ensures that relevant products are shown, improving navigation and the user experience.
⚡Quick Highlights
- Dynamically show products from the current category level
- Improve browsing experience with filtered product views
- Create smarter product archives or landing pages
You can learn more about this feature in the Woo Products Current Category Fix documentation.
Show Blog Posts By Current Category Level
The Divi Blog module has a major issue with how posts are displayed in Divi Theme Builder dynamic category templates. Many blogs use multiple levels of categories to organize their content, but by default, Divi does not display posts according to their category hierarchy. This leads to confusion for visitors who are trying to browse posts by category. Our Divi Taxonomy Helper plugin makes this possible by letting you show posts from the current category level, improving content organization, and helping visitors discover related articles more efficiently.
⚡Quick Highlights
- Automatically filter posts based on the current category
- Keep content relevant in blog and archive templates
- Improve the discoverability of relevant posts
You can learn more about this feature in the Blog Posts Current Category Fix documentation.

Will this plugin be updated for compatibility with Divi 5?
Yes, this plugin will be updated for full compatibility with Divi 5. However, it's important to understand that Divi 5 is still in its early alpha stage, which means it is under active development by the Divi team. While we are actively working to rebuild this plugin, ongoing changes and core updates in Divi 5 need to be completed before we can finalize the conversion process for third-party products.
During both the Public Alpha and the upcoming Public Beta, it is neither expected nor feasible for third-party products to be fully compatible. The core structure required for us to complete the rebuild of this plugin is not yet finalized, and Divi 5 continues to undergo frequent changes and updates behind the scenes.
As a leading Divi plugin developer, we are fully committed to ensuring this plugin will be updated and compatible with Divi 5. We are making great progress on this, but we kindly ask for your patience during this transition. The process requires significant time and resources, and we truly appreciate your support and understanding.
Rest assured, by the time Divi 5 reaches its full public release, this plugin will be fully rebuilt and compatible, offering the same high-quality features and performance you’ve come to expect.
We will provide more information on how to access these updates as soon as it becomes available. Until then, please be patient and know that we are working diligently to ensure a smooth transition for this plugin.
Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and kindness during this process!

Here’s the thing–I’ve been developing with PHP and Wordpres for a very long time. I needed the ability to add categories to a page and began creating a Divi module plugin for this reason. Anyway, as time went by I wanted to add another feature then another and finally I searched and found “Divi Taxonomy Helper”. After looking over the features I realized, “Heck, why am I spending all this time when someone else has already done the work?” So, I made the purchase. Really, this plugin has features I had not even considered and cannot express how pleased I am. Totally worth the money and the time it has saved me. Next time I need something custom for Divi I am coming here first!

Hi Mikhael,
I love that story, thanks for sharing! I’m so glad you like this! Yes, we have a lot of solutions, and always actively making many more, so always check here first!
Cyrille Bernard (verified owner) –
This is a more than useful plugin. It works perfectly, and does exactly what it does. It is as easy to use as adding a featured image to an article or page but on a category or tag. I do not regret my purchase.
Bravo to the team.
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Hi Cyrille,
I am so pleased to hear you are finding this plugin useful! It certainly is more powerful than most people realize. Thank you for sharing!
Kyna Woollery (verified owner) –
I didn’t realize what “Taxonomy Helper” was about, but I do know. And I love it. Just being able to create a product categories page easily is amazing! I wish I’d taken time to read through all of the plugins offered months ago. Saves so much time!
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Hi Kyna,
I’m so glad you found this! Yes, the terminology can be unclear, but once you realize how powerful it it, it quickly becomes a favorite plugin, at least for me! Thanks for sharing, enjoy!
Myntillae Nash (verified owner) –
This plugin is a great solution for category images and then being able to dynamically pull them into the Divi Theme Builder templates.
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Hi Myntillae,
I’m so glad you are enjoying this unique solution! Thanks so much for sharing!
Wyn Snow –
This Taxonomy Helper module made it simple for me to implement my design ideas for WooCommerce’s product category pages. Nelson’s documentation for this module — and his support — was stellar in helping me understand how to use this “helper plugin” effectively. I would have given him 10 stars if that was possible!
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
I am so glad you are enjoying this plugin! It was a pleasure assisting you!
Greg (verified owner) –
This plugin has helped one of my customers’ blog page to have a fresh new look. She writes posts often and typically uses the same block of categories. Being able to add images to each of those categories has given her blog page a more organized look and feel instead of the default blog layout.
Her website visitors can now see the category name, a brief description of that category, and a button to quickly go to all the posts in that category.
Her blog now has a much better-organized presentation.
Thanks, Nelson, for this plugin.
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Thank you Greg, especially for sharing that testimonial about your customer. That sounds beautiful!
Mike Harris (verified owner) –
This solves a problem I had always wondered about – why can’t I do this, and now I can. Nelson and Pee Aye have always excelled at making our lives easier, and this plugin is no exception.
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Thanks Mike, I love that! Really happy to be able to make life easier and solve the questions with a unique solution!
Javier Alvarez-Beigbeder (verified owner) –
Thank you, you are very kind and generous. And I already knew that the trust you gave me was to bet and be a member of the “Divi Adventure Club – Lifetime Unlimited”. I don’t have time to be able to try everything but as we say in Spain: “Más vale que sobre, que no nos falte”. Could it be translated like this: More is better than less.
But it is also that yours is of quality!
Thanks Nelson !
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Thank you Javier, that is very nice to hear! I am so glad you enjoy the quality of our products, and great to see you enjoying the value from the membership!
John Farrell (verified owner) –
This is a big enhancement for Divi Theme users. The ability to add images to any taxonomy and then use them as Featured Images in the Theme Builder makes our job easier as well as enriching the user experience. I do have to say that the Taxonomy Helper Plugin along with the Divi Dynamic Helper Plugin have given the Theme Builder a whole new experience. There are no other products for Divi in it’s vast marketplace that compare to what Nelson Miller and the team at Pee-Aye Creative have to offer. When support is needed, it is always quick and courteous. —- Thanks Pee-Aye Creative.
Nelson Lee Miller (aka The Divi Teacher) (verified owner) –
Hi John, I’m so glad you like that theme builder feature! We are so glad you are enjoying the plugins, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your review!
