Visually appealing websites are, naturally, more interesting to the audience. They provide a higher level of usability (in most, but not all cases) and thus higher engagement with your content.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that but featured images are what catch our attention when we see a shared website link in the social media\u2019s newsfeeds. Therefore, without a featured image, the articles that you are writing and sharing will look dull and boring.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid these results, you need to add a featured image to every post that you are creating and to every page that your website has.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-facebook-like-box\/\">How to Add Facebook Like Box to Your WordPress Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is a WordPress Featured Image<\/h2>\n<p>The fact that we maintain <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/\">WordPress Tutorials<\/a> is not just a mere chance. It is a conscious decision that we made. WordPress is the most famous and used CMS that exists for a reason. \u00a0When the CMS was built, of course, it wasn\u2019t as great as it is today. Still, WordPress manages to maintain its course along with the internet, and the devoted developers of the former never leave the users of the CMS needing something that WordPress doesn\u2019t offer.<\/p>\n<p>The featured image is often a neglected factor, and rather when we can use one as easy as it is in WordPress, we take it for granted.<\/p>\n<p>Featured images are also known as post thumbnails. They are used to represent your posts, and pages when they are shared on the web. And when looking at the page, you <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/define-wordpress-blog-page\/\">defined as a blog page<\/a>; the posts will be represented by the same image. \u00a0You can see how important it is to add featured images to your blog posts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Choose a Featured Image in WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing a featured image in WordPress is a straightforward process. What you need to do is to go to the page or post where you want to add a featured image to, and once your content is ready to be published (or before that if you feel like it) scroll down the page and look at the right sidebar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/add-featured-image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28254 alignleft\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/add-featured-image-108x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"514\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click the <strong>Set featured image<\/strong> link, and choose the one that you feel is most relevant to your article.<\/p>\n<p>Click Publish or Update(if the article was already published) and you are good to go.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-images-media-wordpress-posts\/\">How to Add Media in WordPress Posts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Set a Default Featured Image in WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>Every once in a while, you\u2019ll feel the need(or find the value) of setting a default image for your website to be represented, when the page or the post doesn\u2019t have a featured image set.<\/p>\n<p>To add a default image in WordPress, you\u2019ll need a bit of coding. But don\u2019t worry! It\u2019s not as scary, as it sounds. Believe me; I am scared of the word code itself. Plus, in the next section of this article, I\u2019ll walk you through a method of adding a default featured image in WordPress by using a plugin, which will make it a lot easier.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, naturally, you need to create or choose an image that you want your website to show every time that it is shared online, but there is no featured image set to this page or post.<\/p>\n<p>Then go to your WordPress Hosting Control Panel and look for the File manager.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20495 alignnone\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/File-Manager-300x223.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"346\" height=\"257\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once there, enter <strong>yourwebsite.com\/wp-content\/themes\/themename\/Images <\/strong>and upload the image you\u2019ve chosen. If such a directory doesn\u2019t exist (which is highly probable), you can simply create it.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress themes are displaying the post thumbnails in various places. To find the file, where you want to post the code, you need to look for the_post_thumbnail() function in the theme files.<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, this function is in archive.php, single.php, or the content templates.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you need to add the following code where you want to display the post thumbnail.<\/p>\n<p>&lt;?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(); } else { ?&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;&lt;?php bloginfo(&#8216;template_directory&#8217;); ?&gt;\/images\/default-featured-image.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&#8221; \/&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to replace default-featured-image.jpg with your image file name.<\/p>\n<p>Now everything should be working, and your posts should have a default featured image.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Setting a Default Featured Image in WordPress via Plugin<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>There are a lot of ways to specify an image to be a default feature on your WordPress website. \u00a0The easiest, of course, is by <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-plugin-wordpress\/\">adding a WordPress plugin<\/a> and using its options to achieve the results you want.<\/p>\n<p>One of the possible solutions is <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/default-featured-image\/\">this plugin<\/a> which will help you do that. But this is its main function, and as the usage of a vast number of plugins is not recommended, let\u2019s try another solution.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/yoast-seo-begginers-guide\/\">Yoast SEO is a plugin that we\u2019ve talked about before<\/a>. And it is a really handy plugin.<\/p>\n<p>In our <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/yoast-seo-begginers-guide\/\">Yoast for Beginners Guide<\/a>, we\u2019ve covered a lot of its capabilities, but we didn\u2019t speak of this one. Yoast is granting you with the option to add a default open graph image, that will show when you are sharing your content on the social networks. More specifically Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>To do so, you need to enter your <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/enter-wordpress-admin-panel\/\">WordPress Admin Panel<\/a>. Once there, look for the Yoast SEO in the left sidebar menu. In the sidebar, it says just SEO with Yoast\u2019s logo before that.<\/p>\n<p>Go to <strong>Social<\/strong>-&gt;<strong>Facebook.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/in-Yoast-go-to-Social.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28255 alignnone\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/in-Yoast-go-to-Social.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/go-to-Facebook.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28256 alignnone\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/go-to-Facebook-300x256.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"312\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click the\u00a0<strong>Upload Image <\/strong>button, and choose the image you want to be a default featured image for every page or post that you share on the social network.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/default-image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28257\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/default-image-300x206.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"236\" \/><\/a><\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then click the <strong>Save Settings<\/strong> button below. You are good to go.<\/p>\n<p>Now you have a default featured image. When you are sharing your posts on Facebook, even if you forget or deliberately didn\u2019t add a featured image (which will be shown in the post as well), you\u2019ll have an image that will drive more users to click on your posts, and to read them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordPress Featured Images are a thing for a reason.
