[Support request] Post without featured image

Hi,

You can follow Tom’s advice here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/posts-page-show-attachment-image-if-no-featured-image/#post-245909

Which basically is filtering how the post thumbnail displays.

Could it be setup to pull an image via a custom field?

Sure that’s possible.

The code will look something like this:

add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'my_post_thumbnail_fallback', 20, 5 );
function my_post_thumbnail_fallback( $html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr ) {
    $fallback_image = get_field('fallback_image');
    if ( empty( $html ) ) {
        $html = sprintf( '<img src="%1$s" alt="%2$s" itemprop="image" class="%3$s" />',
            WPSP_Resize( $fallback_image, $image_atts[ 'width' ], $image_atts[ 'height' ], $image_atts[ 'crop' ], true, $image_atts[ 'upscale' ] )
            esc_attr( the_title() ),
            $settings[ 'image_alignment' ]
        );
    }
    return $html;
}

The fallback_image within get_field('fallback_image') is basically the slug of the fallback image custom field. This is assuming you’re using ACF.
