Set a Defualt Feature Image?

  • Im confused, how do i set it so theres a default image showing on all posts unless there is a feature image set when posting?

    <?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
  the_post_thumbnail();
}
?>

    im just using that to display the feature image if there is oneset. Can anyone help me ? :]

    ive looked on the codex but i just cant get my head around it :[

    Thanks,
    Renny

  • possibly with an else part to your conditional statement:

    <?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
  the_post_thumbnail();
} else { ?>
<img scr="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/images/default-thumb.jpg" alt="" />
<?php }
?>

    (the above assumes that the default image is named default-thumb.jpg and is located in the /images/ folder of your theme)
    (if your styling depends on the css class output of the post thumbnail function, you might need to add some corresponding css classes to the default code)

    ive changed it to what youve posted but it isnt showing, ive uploaded the default image to my image root and changed it accordingly

    i see that your code is outputting a relative psth to the image:
    <img scr="/images/default-thumb.png" alt="">

    make sure that the path to the image is absolute, either by entering it yourself (https:// and all) or by using the corresponding wordpress function ( possibly bloginfo() or so)
