This plugin adds several helpers to the default WP Media Management. Each helper tries to be as tiny as possible (as a feature and as lines of code) and independent from the other helpers. Helpers can be enabled one by one.The aim is to provide a fine control and to avoid all possible conflicts.
<ul>
<li>Use an external URL as the media file and save it to the database like an uploaded media. This allow external media providers to be used inside the Media Library. You can also attach a new media to a post without specifying any file (fake media). This allows you to work on the media without having the file yet.</li>
<li>Duplicate media</li>
<li>Limit the resolution of uploaded images (WP allows you to limit the filesize, but not the resolution)</li>
<li>Update a media permalink each time its title is changed (now included in core for WP 3.5)</li>
<li>Change the parent of a previously attached media</li>
<li>Change the file of a media without creating a new media entry</li>
</ul>

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.
