# Post Image – Default for None

 * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-image-default-for-none/)
 * I am using this code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
       echo the_post_thumbnail();
       }
       else {
       echo "";
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * to get the post thumbnails from the blog. It’s setting up fine, but how do I 
   make it display another image if there is none. You can see it is the PHP if 
   and else statements, but I don’t know how to make to do an image.
 * All help is appreciated!

 * Try:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( has_post_thumbnail() )  echo the_post_thumbnail();
       else {
       	echo '<img src="http://domain/image.jpg" width="xx" height="yy" alt="" />';
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * I just tried that function `has_post_thumbnail` and got this error:
 * `Fatal error: Call to undefined function has_post_thumbnail() in C:\xampp\htdocs\
   wordpress-2.9.1\wordpress\wp-content\themes\mclabs\inner_page.php on line 11`

 * Sorry figured it out, I added the `add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );` to
   my functions.php file and it sorted it out

 * Sorry. I assumed you already had that in place.

 * Great, esmi. How can we make this more dynamic?
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( has_post_thumbnail() )  echo the_post_thumbnail();
       else {
       	echo '<img src="http://domain/image.jpg" width="xx" height="yy" alt="" />';
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * See how it says domain/image.jpg? How can I do the `<?php bloginfo('template_url');?
   >` so it will work in all sites, but still inside this code?
