Function set default image when image not present

You’d want to put the <img/> tag and all the necessary content for the default image after the final colon in the following line:

$my_image = ( $image[0] != '' ) ? ' <img alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '" class="tagim" src="' . $image[0] . '"/>' : '';

What that line does is say that if the $image[0] variable is not equal to blank ($image[0] != ''), then use the following, and it then supplies the image tag, the title, the alt and src. Then the segment after the colon is basically the else. So if NOT BLANK do this ELSE do this. What you’ve got as an else is basically nothing.

So try this, where we’re adding something to the ELSE portion:

$my_image = ( $image[0] != '' ) ? ' <img alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '" class="tagim" src="' . $image[0] . '"/>' : ' <img alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '" class="tagim" src="theurlforyourdefaultimage.com/imagename.png"/>';

You’ll need to provide the URL to your default image. Not sure if it’s in a folder in your theme, or something you’ve uploaded, but for the time being you can just use the full URL to test.

I guess also determine if you still want the same alt and title even if there’s a default instead of a featured image or if you want them to also be something generic.
