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!
