Add a default featured image to the media settings page. This featured image will show up if no featured image is set. Simple as that.

Default Featured Image


Great plugin that does exactly what it claims to do. I have a client site that is using Elementor and it doesn't allow you to specify a default image on the Blog Archive. This plugin resolved that issue, allowing you to specify a default Featured Image. Thanks for creating such a useful plugin 👍👍


Does exactly what it says


If you use a thumbnail block within a query block in full site editing, you can use this plugin to set an image if no thumbnail is registered.The setup is easy and straightforward, and the code is simple and nice.

Thank you, @janwoostendorp, for this great minimalist and out-of-the-box working plugin.



I was looking for a plugin that'd set a default image to posts that don't have any, and this plugin is doing exactly that—nothing more, nothing less. It's not creating yet another admin menu bar item with dozens of subpages. It doesn't annoy you with constant dashboard notices. It doesn't beg for donations or includes any watermarks.



It just works the way you expect it to work.



It's a little sad that the bar is this low, but compared to so many other plugins, I think this needs to be pointed out—and reach more people who want a simple solution for a simple problem.



The only feature I'd have liked to see is the support for images that are unavailable and can't be displayed to also use the default featured image. A quick glance inside the code showed quite a bit of jQuery, which wouldn't be my first choice, but it made me think that adding a simple checkbox to have it checking for this (non-render blocking, of course) could be a useful idea.



Thanks for your work!


This is how a WordPress plugin should be!

Add a Default Featured Image for all posts & pages.

When spinning up a staging or local development environment, you might not need the full uploads directory, but you also don’t want to see broken images throughout the site.
This plugin lets you use the production server for missing media. Define the production URL using a wp-config.php constant BE_MEDIA_FROM_PRODUCTION_URL or filter be_media_from_production_url.
In all cases, if a local file exists, it will be used in preference to the remote file.

BE Media from Production

We are using the plugin from GitHub for quite some time. Now it will be even easier, great work!

Awesome!

Sites that heavily rely on media were painfully to maintain. Not only did I have to get the local database in sync on my development machine, but also the media to get a good picture of how the site will look after a new feature I added. With this plugin this becomes a breeze as I do not have to download all media to my local machine anymore. This saves time and diskspace. Thank you Bill for this awesome plugin.

Makes maintaining sites a breeze

Just a really great complement to localhost development, especially since pretty much every backup/export utility allows excluding certain directories, like wp-content/uploads

Many thanks!

So glad I found this

Incredibly useful plugin when doing local development work on sites with huge media libraries, when you don't want to fill up your local hard drive with or spend time syncing with your remote site.

Very useful, works perfectly

For developers - Uses local media when available, and uses the production server for the rest.
