Wonderful Plugin that Just Works

By Dave Loebig (PacesetterMedia) on March 14, 2024

Default featured image does what it's supposed to do and it meets two criteria I always look for:

  • light weight
  • it just works

The support forum has good answers to questions, and that's a big plus.

Thanks for the great plugin.

It does exactly what it says

Excellent little plugin that does the job right. It worked for us..!

The setup is easy and straightforward, and the code is simple and nice.

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.

muy contenta

By crelma on January 12, 2024

Es perfecto porque hay una opción que te pone automáticamente la imagen destacada de todos los post que no la tenían cogiendo la primera imagen del post y si no hay imagen lo deja vacío. Perfecto!!

Does exactly what it says

By Anthony Hortin (ahortin) on July 31, 2023

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 👍👍
