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!

<li>Screenshots</li>
<li>Adobe Photoshop</li>
<li>Gimp</li>
<li>LibreOffice</li>
<li>GoogleDocs</li>
<li>Adobe XD</li>
<li>SVG from Adobe XD, Illustrator, Figma and Affinity Designer (Note: An additional plugin for SVG Support is required. My favorite: <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/" rel="ugc">Safe SVG</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/mcguffin/the-paste#applications-tested-so-far" rel="nofollow ugc">And some more…</a></li>

<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Firefox does not support pasting multiple files from the OS filesystem.</li>
<li>Safari lacks the support to convert images to the webP format.</li>
<li>Pasting in TinyMCE triggers a JavaScript error if <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-media-library-lite/" rel="ugc">Real Media Library</a> is active. Pasting in the media library is still working.</li>
<li>Edge is working suspiciously well, which is very unusal in the Microsoft world and must be considered a bug.</li>
</ul>

The Paste

This is a most excellent tool for giving your pasted images useful names, for your later reference and for better SEO. There's one extra step -- you don't simply paste into the editor, you have to tell it you're inserting an image and do your pasting in the media dialog.

It would be better if you could just paste in the editor and were asked for the filename automatically, but this is probably the best we can do via a plugin.

On my "essential" list

Paste files and image data from clipboard and instantly upload them to the WordPress media library.
