# Date range?

 * Hi,
 * I love the plugin but as I have a big blog, over 2500 posts, I also have a problem.
   
   Some of my earlier posts don’t have featured images so they only show the title
   in the widget. Is there a way to limit the time span? So it only shows the random
   posts from the last 2 years?
 * Would be great!
 * Thanks for your great work.
 * Caroline

 * You could try [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/),
   my plugin support it.

 * Hi Satrya,
 * I can asign featured images, that is not the problem, it is just a LOT of work
   😀 As it is for over 1000 posts.
 * If you could set up that time limit it would be the coolest thing 😀
 * Most welcome and deserved!

 * Hi Satriya,
 * Would it be possible to ad a standard image for when no featured image is available?
   
   That would help a lot. Something like what gravatar does when no custom avatar
   is chosen by a commenter they ad a standard grey man image 😀
 * Thanks

 * Hello Caroline,
 * How about if you try to install [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/),
   you only need an image on your post and the plugin will generate the thumbnail
   to display it on the random post widget.

 * Hi Satriya,
 * I tried that plugin, gave me posts with 2 featured images. Did not work well.
   
   But I solved the problem with another plugin: Default featured image [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/default-featured-image/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/default-featured-image/)
 * With that plugin you can asign a default featured image for all posts that do
   not have a featured image already. And your plugin will show that default featured
   image also.

 * Ok, that’s great. For the default image, I’ll addressed in the version when I
   have the time.
 * Thanks for the link too 🙂

 * I agree. This plugin is fantastic, but a time span limiter would make it perfect.
   If I could chose how long the date range is, it would be great for what I am 
   doing with my site.
