Wow, that’s a tricky one. You could exclude those posts by ID. I got an example in the FAQ.
But that would require you to keep adding post ID’s to the exception.
I would recommend:
- exclude the whole poststype (again check the FAQ).
- Where you put echo the Featured image do an manual check if one is set.
- If not, get and echo the default featured image, see code below:
<br />
$dfi= wp_get_attachment_image( get_option( 'dfi_image_id' ), $size, false, $attr );<br />
echo $dfi;<br />
I hope this helps. If you get stuck let me know and I will give more detailed instructions and help where needed.

Thanks, so I know what I want now and hope you can help.
I think an easier solution.
Basically I have two custom posts – I do not required default image for normal posts.
I installed your plugin and did not specify a default image BUT I created the necessary functions for those custom posts.
If I enable default featured image, it then works 100% BUT it then also works for POSTS! 🙁
Is there a way to tell your plugin NOT to even process posts, as I have another plugin that fetches the first image in the posts and displays it as a thumbnail.
?
pasting below in your functions.php should exclude all posts form my plugin.
function dfi_posttype_post( $dfi_id ) {
if ( is_singular( 'post' ) || get_post_type() == 'post' ) {
return 0; // it's an invalid ID
}
return $dfi_id; // the original featured image id
}
add_filter('dfi_thumbnail_id', 'dfi_posttype_post' );
Let me know 😉
