Just to be on the same page here– the image doesn’t appear right after you click and open it or it is not there after you click “Save Changes” (at the bottom of the page)? * Take care, Petra * Thread Starter [Matt Blank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattblank/) * (@mattblank) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778786) * After Save Changes. * I previously had one there, but removed it, went to add a new one but to no avail. * [PetraP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petrap/) * (@petrap) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778795) * Hey, * this is definitely strange. What browser are you currently using? Are you experiencing the same issue when switching to another browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari)? Also – what format is the image you are tying to upload? Finally, would you mind sending me this image so that I can test this on my end? * Best, Petra * Thread Starter [Matt Blank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattblank/) * (@mattblank) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778873) * I’m using Chrome and on two computers (my home and works). The file is a JPG ( exported like normal via Photoshop as a Save For Web) uploads correctly. It’s only 31Kb and it does upload correctly, as it appears in the Media Library. Just doesn’t stay attached in the Related Posts plugin. * Instead, what I’ve had to do is copy the image 30 times, rename them and replace the static thumbs within the plugin directory. * Also, on a side note, I’m pretty sure I used to be able to specify to show only posts from the past 12 months. Is that no longer a feature? * Thanks!

Or is it bigger than this? * As for that last inquiry — yes, unfortunately we had to drop that feature quite some time ago, since it wasn’t used at all (just barely) and since it was quite confusing for most of our users. Sorry! * But please do let me know if you have any more questions or if that image is bigger than that size, since I’d love to help you out on this! In any case —  I’m looking forward to your reply! * Take care & have a nice day! * Best, Silvo * Thread Starter [Matt Blank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattblank/) * (@mattblank) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778878) * Hi Silvo, * The image is 310 x 175 pixels, so really shouldn’t be a problem 🙁 * Shame about the date feature. Just over a year ago I changed the ratio of the main image, so I was hoping to only use posts from the last year, so that the related posts can also use the new ratio. * Thanks! Matt * [silvoslaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silvoslaf/) * (@silvoslaf) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778879) * Hey Matt, thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated! Is there a chance you could send me that image over, via email, so that I could try it out on my end? * Here’s my email address: support[at]zemanta[dot]com * Would love to test it out on my end, if possible. Let me know!

You found a very, very hidden bug, which made us totally excited! 🙂 * The thing is, you really cannot upload a default image for your thumbnails (for blogs without images), as you already found out, **but this only happens when you have already set a custom size for your thumbnails.** In your case, they are set to 310×175 pixels, right? * That’s the first bug, the second one happens when you try to bypass that bug. * So, if you disable your _‘Custom Size Thumbnails’_ option, save your settings, then suddenly you are able to upload your default image for your thumbnails ( for blogs without images). But, when that image is uploaded, and when you enable your custom sized thumbnails again, that default image is still extracted to the default size of our thumbnails (which is 150×150 pixels big). And then that small thumbnail is stretched back again to your custom size that you have set to 310×175 pixels, making it all stretched out. * Not a nice sight, we know. * All in all — we are on it! We do have a couple of things to finish first, but this is certainly something we are planning to fix as soon as possible, so please bear with us until we do. * In any case, we are extremely grateful for your cooperation and insight with this issue, since we wouldn’t be able to notice it without you. So big thanks from our team! * And please do let me know if you have any more questions _what-so-ever_ — we’ll be more than glad to help you out! Take care & have a nice day! * Best, Silvo * Thread Starter [Matt Blank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattblank/) * (@mattblank) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778883) * Haha! Thanks for the reply Silvo. * So currently, I’ve overridden all 31 static images with the same file naming system, just duplicating my image. Should I just keep it like that for the time being and wait for the next release? (will the bug fix be in the next release?!?) * Many thanks! Matt * P.S. I wouldn’t need the default image if I could specify only to show the last 12 months worth of posts 🙂 * [silvoslaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silvoslaf/) * (@silvoslaf) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778884) * Well, yeah, the best thing would be if you would leave it be for now, until we make that fix happen! And yes, it should be fixed in our next release (hopefully sooner than later)! * And we’re really sorry for that gone feature, but we really cannot make any promises to bring it back, I’m sorry say. Hopefully this will also change, but not in the foreseeable future. Sorry, I hope you understand! * As always — if you have any questions or if you stumble upon any problems, do not hesitate to let me know! I’m here to help! * Take care! * Best, Silvo * Thread Starter [Matt Blank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattblank/) * (@mattblank) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deafault-image/#post-4778885) * Thanks Silvo! * No need to apologise, you do this out of the good of your heart and work very heard for free!! So this is fully appreciated. * Look forward to the next release 🙂 * All the best!
