Default Add image to category

I'm using 4.4, and my site is http://www.dishdashmeals.com

My client is asking if I can add an image to the "LOCATIONS" category, because otherwise the page looks bland. I tend to agree, but I cannot see how to simply add an image. An icon with the category name is not sufficient. I need to be able to add a good 400 - 600 pixels wide image to make it worthwhile. Is there any way to do this without affecting the other pages in the site?

You can add an image this size as category icon. Don;t let the word "icon" to stop you

Ah! I will do that, then. I thought it would be limited in size like other icons, though I suppose I could edit css to match.

Uh-oh, looks like it just adds a tiny icon next to the word LOCATIONS in the side menu.

The icon in the LHS menu uses category image and can be turned on/off from flyout menu settings. The category image should also show in the center section when on that category's page. If it doesn't show you can add it in the template

It doesn't, but I did go into the product description and added the image into that area with html. Looks like it worked. Thanks!
