# Default Thumbnail Won’t Upload

 * I have tried selecting a default image from the media library and a straight 
   upload, and neither will allow me to change the default thumbnail in WPP so it
   will be used when a post has no featured image.
 * Can you help please?
 * Other than this one annoyance this is an incredibly well done widget. I’m using
   pure HTML/CSS from my theme right in the widget settings, and it’s perfect. Well
   done, very nice piece of coding.

 * I am happy with the plugin – but I struggle with the same issue
    I tried different
   ways to upload a default image – but failed. The default image on the admin side
   dissapears – but then nithing happens and its still shown wrong.
 * I use: WP 4.7, php 7.0, DIVI theme and WPP 3.8 as widget.
 * (until I have a real solution, I exchanged the no_thumb.jpg in the plugin folder
   via FTP.)

 * Hey guys!
 * Sorry for the late reply, work abd life in general have kept me away from the
   forum in the past few months and just got to see this topic.
 * I’ll have a look at this once I get some chance and get back to you later.

 * I’m also having this problem. Any news? Would also be cool to be able to set 
   multiple defaults that the plugin could randomly pick for each post.
 * Thanks for the plugin!

 * I have the same problem. Any news?
    If you dont find a solution, could you make
   the plugin so that it takes the default thumbnail from the theme folder if its
   there, so that it wont be overriten when we update?

 * Nothing yet, unfortunately. Will get to it once I’m done polishing version 4.0.

 * That’s actually not a bad idea. I’ll think about it so thanks for the suggestion.
