Hi –

I would love to be able to change this default image and I cannot figure out how and where to do so:

Hi,
That is a placeholder for the articles that do not have set a featured image .
What I can recommend is using the placeholder option from the theme panel: https://i.imgur.com/51hL36l.png. This will replace that image with the one you set there.
I hope this will help you!

Thanks for your reply. I set that image in the theme panel.

I did a “thumbnail regeneration” — and the new default image I selected isn’t showing. That space is now just blank instead of having the original theme default image.

Hi mgraban, I checked your website and I see that now it’s ok.
What I forgot to mentioned is when you set a placeholder, set it in full image size, and not a thumb, also the steps you did with “thumbnail regeneration” are ok if you changed the thumbs dimension you used.
Now according to your screenshot it is like some images are no loading, most of the time when this problem appear to our users was related to a cache plugin that has been used, maybe now was the same.
Thank you!

Hi – When you say, “now it’s OK” do you mean the default placeholder is showing?

That’s not the case for me.

I’m not totally sure what this means: “when you set a placeholder, set it in full image size, and not a thumb,”

Thanks,
Mark

Hi mgraban, I was referring that now there are no longer “black images”.
To set the placeholder image in full size – https://i.imgur.com/Y0ORCKH.jpg

What do you mean by “black images”?? I am really not understanding.

I got it working. The default had been a .webp image. When I re-uploaded it as .jpg, I was able to set it as “full size” and now it appears as the placeholder as I wanted.

thanks.
