PrestaShop 1.6.x How to remove subcategory thumbnails

Subcategories thumbnails are called out from the category.tpl file located in the themes/themeXXX directory on server, where themeXXX is your theme name on server:

1. Connect to server via FTP or open cPanel File manager.

2. Open the themes/themeXXX/category.tpl file. Find and delete the subcategory image code:

     <div class="subcategory-image">						
     <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="img">
     {if $subcategory.id_image}								
     <img class="replace-2x" src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'tm_medium_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" alt="
     {$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" />		
     {else}				
      <img class="replace-2x" src="{$img_cat_dir}{$lang_iso}-default-medium_default.jpg" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />					
     {/if}
     </a>      
     </div>
      

3. Save changes in the category.tpl file and check the subcategories display at the front-end with the Ctrl/Cmd+F5 hotkeys.

4. In case subcategories list element style is defined via css, you will need to edit the themes/themeXXX/css/category.css file as well. Find class of the element you need to update using the Inspect Element tool. Particularly, you will need to change the element height:

   

5. Copy the line required and edit it in the themes/themeXXX/css/category.css file, set element height to auto. Save changes in file to apply changes on server.
