 * Hello again!
 * I’m confused. If there is no attachment image for a particular ID, an empty string
   is returned, so you are essentially doing `echo '';`. If this is not what you
   want, then, what do you want when no image exists?
 * Also, what is `$files`? If it’s not an array of attachment IDs, your code will
   not work.

       <?php $meta = get_option('field_id'); if (!is_array($meta)) $meta = (array) $meta; $queried_object = get_queried_object(); $term_id = $queried_object->term_id;  $meta = isset($meta[$term_id]) ? $meta[$term_id] : array();
   
       $files = $meta['id'];
   
       if ( ! empty( $files ) ) {
       foreach ($files as $att) {
        echo wp_get_attachment_image($att); } }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * that’s my complete code now. works. show the attached image.. and nothing when
   there is no image. but i want a to show a default image, if there is no image
   attached. could you help me there? it’s code with meta taxonomy.

 * Thanks for clarifying, that is what I thought you wanted but I wanted to make
   sure.
 * Replace the current echo line with this:
 *     ```
       $img = wp_get_attachment_image($att);
          if('' == $img) {
             echo '<img src="'.content_url().'/2013/07/default.jpg">';
          } else {
             echo $img;
          }
       } }
       ```
   
 * Of course, the src path should be changed to match your actual default image,
   and you might want to add other img attributes like alt, height, width, class,
   etc.

       <?php $meta = get_option('spielerdaten'); if (!is_array($meta)) $meta = (array) $meta; $queried_object = get_queried_object(); $term_id = $queried_object->term_id;  $meta = isset($meta[$term_id]) ? $meta[$term_id] : array();
   
       $files = $meta['spielerbild'];
   
       if ( ! empty( $files ) ) {
       foreach ($files as $att) {
          if('' == $img) {
             echo '<img src="'.content_url().'/2013/07/default.jpg">';
          } else {
             echo $img;
          }
       } }
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Now he shows the replace picture… and nothing when it’s empty.
    i need default
   when it’s empty and the attached pic when.. it’s not empty?

          $img = wp_get_attachment_image($att);
          if('' == $img) {
       ```
