Most WordPress themes have built-in support for featured images. Featured images enhance the attractiveness and elegance of a WordPress website and the layout of your website might look a bit incomplete without a featured image in it. However, adding a featured image every time you publish a post might seem to be a tedious task. To solve such an issue, what is recommended is a default featured image.
A default featured image will serve the purpose of a featured image if a post does not have a featured image of its own. To set a default featured image in WordPress, you will need the default featured image plugin. To begin with this, first, install and activate the default featured image plugin. You can then select a default featured image for your posts from your Settings>>Media page.
