Default Featured Image

Default thumbnail when a post has none—consistent grids, cards, and share images.

Overview

Supplies a default featured image when a post has no thumbnail—without writing over stored featured images. Filters thumbnail ID/HTML getters and integrates with major SEO plugins’ Open Graph/image tags (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, Jetpack), with a meta fallback when those are absent. Pick an attachment in settings (recommended ~1200×630 for social). Inactive until an attachment is selected.
