Our site is divided into mainly music, film and books. Since some posts have no set featured image, we want to set a fallback image per category.
Nearly all of the time we make use of flex block 1, and doing a search online I found a code which would do the trick
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail">
"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</div>
<?php else :
$category = get_the_category();
?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail">
">/wp-content/uploads/category-images/<?php echo $category[0]->category_nicename ; ?>-150x150.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Can anyone of you suggest if this can be implemented manually ?
Looking at the flex block code I figure I would make some changes here on line 22:
if (empty($image_size)) {
$image_size = 'td_696x0';
}
Hi,
Indeed, if there is no featured image set the them will display a placeholder image (no thumb)

But this will not take categories into account, maybe if you create conditions and also additional images

I believe this may not be easy.
By default it would be simple, if the post has no thumb, module loads a no thumb placeholder of the appropriate size.
Some users that installed the theme and had multiple old posts with no featured image, reported that they used a plugin (auto post thumbnail I think) to automatically use the first image found in the post content as featured.
However I don’t know if that plugin works or not with the theme properly, just thought of mentioning it.
Thanks
