which plugin are you referring to? That would be a good starter
Hi,
The plugin I am referring to is this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/
The issue is that this one only pulls the thumbnail from the first image in the post. I want a default image to be used for all posts regardless so that the branding of the site remains consistent.
There must be a way to do this through PHP, just I do not know where to start (and I have a limited knowledge of PHP).
Cheers
Ok, I cracked that code open, and think that putting in the following will work
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'assylumn_insert_thumbnail' );
function assylumn_insert_thumbnail() {
echo('<a href="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture.jpg">') ;
echo('<img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail" width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture.jpg"/>' .'</a>');
}
Obviously you’ll need to change the URL to your image
You’ll need to add this to your functions file, if you don’t know how to do this, come back !
Thank you for your swift response!
I assume you mean the functions.php file within my template? If so, is there any particular point that I should insert the function?
I have a site to deploy tomorrow so will look at this after I have done that and report back.
Thanks again
Yes, No particular point that you should insert it – I’d put it at the end.
Hi Robin,
That has worked but with a small issue….the image is displaying far bigger than the uploaded file which is 75x75px. What do I need to change in that code to help the formatting?

This is on my test server but is the same environment that the final site will reside in.
Many thanks
Got it!
Reduced the width from 100% to 25% and now it looks good.
You sir, are a Gentleman!
Many thanks for the assist!
Great, glad it all worked !
If you’re not using a child theme, then any theme upgrade may overwrite your functions file, so keep a note of the final code you used, as you may need to add it back.
