Featured image/thumbnail fallback placeholder image

Question

I'm currently using the_post_thumbnail(); to display featured images in my pages.

Is it possible to set a fallback placeholder image in the event a featured image hasn't been set?

Answer 1

You can use has_post_thumbnail() as condition and change output accordingly.

Example from Codex:

if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
    the_post_thumbnail();
} else {
    echo '<img src="'.get_bloginfo("template_url").'/images/img-default.png" />';
}
