 * Hi,
 * Many of the posts on our site have no featured image, so when they are pulled
   as a related post, the image ends up one of several patterns that I had never
   seen before. My question is, is there anyway to either have no image show, or
   possibly a single default image, when there is no featured image for the post?
 * Thanks,
    Greg

 * Hey Greg, thanks for reaching out, I’ll gladly help!
 * Do those posts without featured images have any other images inserted? If so,
   are they as big as or bigger than 151×151 pixels? Any chance you could send us
   the link to those problematic blog posts?
 * But you can set a default image for those posts without images in your plugin
   settings, which should remove those generic, default thumbnails disappear. Or
   are there any problems with it?
 * Let me know, I’m more than eager to help you out! Take care & I’m looking forward
   to your reply!
 * Best,
    Silvo

 * I feel like an idiot. I didn’t see the gray “down-arrow” chevron next to “Advanced
   Settings” when I firsts looked at the plugin settings page. I see now where I
   can set a default picture.
 * Thanks for your quick response!

 * Hey Greg, I’m glad you find your way around the problem, really!
 * And no need to be so harsh on yourself — if there’s someones fault, it’s ours!
   That small grey-on-grey arrow does seem a bit off and hard to notice, to be honest.
   We’ll try to change it into something more convenient (and more noticeable).
 * Either way — thanks for contacting us with this & please do let us know if you
   have any more questions in the future, since we’re always ready to help you out!
 * Take care & have a nice rest of the day!
 * Best,
    Silvo
