I created a WooCommerce category, added description and an image to it.
There are some products in the category too.
Looking at the category in frontend (/product-category/mycat/) I see category description and product images – but not a category image. I tested it with all default WP themes and with Storefront too – category image is in no theme visible.
In the rendered source code there is nothing similar to category image – after title and description comes immediately the sorting dropdown:
What I’m missing?
Shouldn’t category image appear automatically on the category page?
Or should I nevertheless trigger its displaying with adding of any code to theme file?
Indeed, the solution from https://stackoverflow.com/a/12717177/1992004 is working for me – the category image appears.
Is there really no solution without custom code?

“Shouldn’t category image appear automatically on the category page? Or should I nevertheless trigger its displaying with adding of any code to theme file?”
Short answer
No it does not show up by default! It all depends on the template/theme developer’s architecture/preferences and how s/he has planned the theme out! If you’d like to customize your theme, then you could go ahead and add it manually to your theme templates using the snippet you found!
