    Wonder if someone to add to my code;

    I have a simple latest post in the sidebar, but have the an image, if saved in the custom field, for the post as the background of a div with rounded corners;

    It works well, but now I want to add a code to add a custom image if one isnt uploaded; Can someone help me out?

    Cheers

    <?php
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
$recentPosts->query('showposts=1');
while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
<?php $post_back = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'homepage-thumbnail', $single = true);?>
<div class="newsimage" style="background: url('<?php echo $post_back; ?>') no-repeat; background-size: 100%;"></div>
<span class="sidetitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
    title="Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a> </span><br />
<?php echo get_excerpt(150); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
</div>

    <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'homepage-thumbnail', true) ) {?>
<?php $post_back = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'homepage-thumbnail', $single = true);?>
<?php endif; ?>

    Then use <?php } else {?> to add code for your custom images.

    Try with this:

    <?php
if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'homepage-thumbnail', true) ) {
$post_back = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'homepage-thumbnail', $single = true);
echo '<div class="newsimage" style="background: url(' . $post_back . ') no-repeat; background-size: 100%;"></div>';
} else {
echo '<div class="newsimage" style="background: url(yourhttpimagepath) no-repeat; background-size: 100%;"></div>';
}
?>

    You have to replace “yourhttpimagepath” with the alternative image
