Hi,

The modules will display a default placeholder if there is no featured image for the post. These placeholder images are located here in the theme

If you want to replace them please use the same name, size and format for the images.

Thanks

If there are images there you can also use ‘Auto Post Thumbnail’ plugin to select the first one to be featured image.

C. If you replace any of the placeholder images surely these will be over written during a theme update. Yes we can use a child theme but it is a bit more complicated when you replace images in an existing path name. I’m guessing there is a way to do this by loading that image folder separately. Any tips please?

Hello,

The mobile theme should provide a placeholder image like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/ieKQZtsoA
Please check your theme panel and enable the no thumb image: https://www.screencast.com/t/pVuhF3mIeIP

Thank you!

Yes it does but that is not really a useful image. There has to be an easier way to add placeholders that won’t be over written. You are not answering the question here. The placeholder should be customisable much more easily.

Hi,

Ideally the posts would have featured images set, so each post can have a thumbnail created. Through the child theme I can’t think of a way to change the default placeholder images.
Either replace them in the main theme folder as mentioned before, or create a similar folder in the child theme and modify the path where they are called here

Unfortunately the td_module file is not supported to be modified in the child theme, so this modifications will have to be made again probably, after updating.

Thanks
