Default Featured Image Fallback lets you pick one image from your Media Library that automatically appears as the featured image for any post or page that does not have one set. The substitution happens at the WordPress filter level — every theme, page builder, and plugin that calls standard thumbnail functions (get_the_post_thumbnail(), has_post_thumbnail(), the_post_thumbnail()) sees the fallback with no template changes required. A badge in the admin post-list column visually identifies which posts are using the fallback rather than a real thumbnail.
