get_post_meta default image

  • Hello WP fans,

    I’ve been struggling to set up a default image on posts using a custom field and was wondering if anyone could assist.

    Here is the code:

    <?php
     $Image = get_post_meta($post->ID,'Image', true);
     $Image = ( !empty( $Image ) ) ? $Image : 'https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/placeholderimage-14.jpg';
             print '<img class="pageimg" src="' . $Image . '" width="183" height="196" alt="" />';
    ?>

    I believe I’ve missed something, but my PHP skills are seriously lacking… The regular image is showing up, however the default image does not show for those posts without a custom image.

    Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

  • Try:

    <?php
$image = get_post_meta($post->ID,'Image', true);
if( $image == '' ) $image = get_bloginfo('url') . '/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/placeholderimage-14.jpg';
echo '<img class="pageimg" src="' . $image . '" width="183" height="196" alt="" />';
?>
