Override Default TD Composer Thumbnails in Child Theme

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi guys, I’d like to use custom default images on my website, so I’ve created the image path in my child theme, but it doesn’t seem to work.

By default, if no featured image is set, it will use default images from the following path.

/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/assets/images/no-thumb/td_1920x0.png

I’ve uploaded my own custom images to the following path, but they’re not working.

/wp-content/themes/child-theme/Newspaper-child/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/assets/images/no-thumb/td_1920x0.png

What am I missing?
Thanks
Matt

Hi,

I don’t think that will work.

If you want to use a custom image in the blocks, when posts don’t have a featured image set, you could upload the image in the theme panel -> https://prnt.sc/Bz3TwCgBzJ1X That’s exactly why we added that option. Please try it.

Thank you!

Thanks. Even though it says ‘Thumb Placeholder’, if uploaded at 1920 x 1080, would it also be used as the featured image on all single post templates as well as blocks?

For the time being, I’ve uploaded my custom thumbs to the plugin directory and simply replaced the default versions.

Thanks

That is only for blocks.

For the post pages if you want to have a default featured image for posts that don’t have one set, please set it in the composer on the featured image element -> https://prnt.sc/suJq2VD-5P6m

So these 2 options, for blocks and post pages, would cover all cases where the featured image would appear.
