Blog Images

Hey rackdc,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Are you tryint to add a placeholder for posts without featured images? We tried to check the site, but it is on maintenance mode and the login account above seems to be invalid, so we were not able to check the site. Please check the login info or provide another admin account. \

To add a default placeholder for the featured images, you will have to modify the enfold\includes\loop-index.php file and edit this code around line 108 or use the avf_post_featured_image_link filter in the functions.php file.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Sorry, but we are not sure if we understand what you’re trying to do based on your message in the private field. Do you want to add the placeholder in the “blog overview page” or in the “single post page”? Just so we’re clear, the blog overview page contains the list of posts while the single post page is the actual post. And which image would you like to use as a placeholder?

A screenshot should clear things up a bit. Would you mind providing one? You can use imgur, savvyify or dropbox for the screenshot.

This sentence is what confuses us.

For examp0le if you click on News page – ‘New Post’ I have created a standard image at the top of my post – I would like the same image to be on the News page.

Do you want to put the same image in the News page? By News page, do you mean the page containing the list of posts? You can actually use the Advance Layout Builder to edit your blog page by adjusting the Enfold > Blog Layout > Blog Layout settings. Select the very last option (Use the advance layout builder..) to enable the builder for the blog page. Once this option is selected, you can start editing the blog page using the Advance Layout Builder. Using the builder you can add a posts element (Blog Posts, Magazine, Masonry etc), then add an Image or some other element/content in the blog page.

Hi,
Thank you for your explanation, featured images are picked in the featured image sidebar option, they are not automatically picked.

If you want to use an certain image as your featured image when you don’t choose one try the Default featured image plugin, I have tested it and it worked.
It creates an option in WordPress ▸ Dashboard ▸ Settings ▸ Media, select the image and save the settings at the bottom of the page.

Best regards,
Mike
