常见问题:
What happens if a post already has a featured image set?
Nothing changes. The default featured image only acts as a fallback — it will never override an image that has already been manually assigned to a post or page.
Does this work with custom post types?
Yes. The plugin works with all post types registered on your site, including custom post types created by themes or other plugins.
Can I exclude certain post types from using the default image?
Yes. The plugin includes include/exclude settings per post type so you have full control over where the default image is applied.
Can I exclude specific categories?
Yes. You can include or exclude specific categories so the default image is only applied where it makes sense for your content.
The default featured image isn't showing on my site — what should I do?
First, confirm that your theme uses the standard WordPress get_the_post_thumbnail() or the_post_thumbnail() functions to display featured images. If the problem persists, please open a support thread with details about your theme and setup.
Is this plugin compatible with page builders like Elementor and Divi?
Yes. As long as the page builder or theme uses standard WordPress functions to retrieve featured images, the default image will appear correctly.
Will the default image appear in SEO meta tags and social sharing previews?
Yes, in most cases. SEO plugins like Yoast SEO and Rank Math read the featured image via standard WordPress functions, so your default image will be used in Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags as well.
Does the plugin slow down my site?
No. The plugin is deliberately lightweight and only hooks into the existing WordPress thumbnail retrieval process — it adds no front-end scripts, styles, or database queries beyond what is necessary.
Is there a Pro version?
Yes! Setup Default Featured Image Pro adds advanced taxonomy-based rules, letting you set different default images per category, tag, or any custom taxonomy term.
