In your last post you discussed using a featured image as a banner. We discussed the contextualizer. This can be done for individual posts, but it can also be done for ‘all posts’. By setting this, it would create a ‘default’ of sorts.
The second image on this Documentation gives an example.

I’m speaking of the thumbnails for each post in the list on the the front page, not the banner image at the top of the page. It seems the only setting in the contextualizer is to enable or disable the thumbnail placeholder, but no option to set an image as the default for posts that have no featured image set. With placeholder enabled, there is a pink box next to the post, and I’d like it to be a default image instead. This image shows what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/x7C3hSV.jpg
It’s not a deal breaker if I can’t do it, although I think it would be a nice selling point for sites with large archives who are on the fence about switching to this theme.
No. You can turn the blank placeholder on or off, but you cannot set it native to the theme.
I checked and there appears to be a plugin you can use with good reviews that accomplishes. Obviously I can’t vouch for anyone’s plugin, but it may be an option that you can try after backing up your site:

It works perfectly. Thanks for your help!
