    HI,

    This issue has been raised numerous times and none of the responses so far (that I have found) resolve it.

    Simply – if a post has no featured image don’t replace it with a boxed icon – shjow nothing instead!

    This applies to all content elements – here’s an example using the Blog Posts element:

    Before: Currently default pencil icon shown with post excerpts that have no featured image:

    After: Posts with no featured images show NOTHING in place of the thumbnail.

    Hope that clarifies – important to note that if there IS a featured image it should show so there needs to be some logic here, ideally a snippet for function.php.

    Thanks.

    Hi Yigit,

    I do get that it’s not so simple keeping layouts tight when some entires have an element and others don’t (though I can’t seem to find an option to not show any featured images in news summary elemnts either).

    Link to test site in private section below – guess best option here would be to somehow keep an element with the appropriate height (believe this is set by the thumbnail size of any existing post with a featured image) – but have it as transparent space – ie no icon, no background & no border).

    Many Thanks.

    Thinking about it thwe best option may be to fallback to a default image – which could be a transparent png that would provide standard height – rather than a additional code.

    Hi,

    Like you suggested a transparent image might be the easiest option if you don’t have a featured image, are you going to go for that option? Please let us know if we can help you out any further.

    Thanks,

    Hi Rikard,

    Back again I’m afraid. So the idea of using a transparent png as the default featured image doesn’t work – that ‘orrible icon is simply obscured by the featured image thumbnail rather than replaced by it so it shows through the transparent background.

    Now seeking advice on another approach – surely can’t be that hard – when there is no featured image on a post don’t show anything in its place.

    Hoping you can come up with something here. Thanks.

    Hey!

    Everything is possible, but that would need a lot of work to be done.

    You can contact one of our Customization Contractors, who will help you out with the process.

    Thanks Basilis – already been waiting a week for a response to my last customisation request and out of time so looking for a kludge.

    How about replacing the icon with a 50px x 50px image – could that be acheived with some css?

    For a proper fix main problem seems to me that there is no css identifier (correct me if I’m wrong as this is all it needs!) for the fallback icon (eg <div class=”blog-meta icon-fallback”>) that allows you to selectively style or hide only those elements that have no featured image.

    Thanks.

    Hi!

    Please add following code to Quick CSS 

    span.fallback-post-type-icon:before {
    display: none;
}
span.fallback-post-type-icon {
    background-image: url(https://www.squashedsoftware.com/images/icon-easy-123.jpg)!important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat!important;
    background-position: 50% 50%!important;
    background-size: contain!important;
}

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Thanks Yigit – that certainly does the job for the Blog Posts element with Grid option selected!

    I will see if I can adapt this for the other options (Single Author, Small Preview Pic etc).

    Will also add suggestion to feature requests that alternatives to icons (it’s personal, I just hate ’em) are provided as fallback when no featured image is present.

    Again, many thanks for your efforts!
