Setting Default Featured Image in a WordPress website

Sometimes it is nice to have a default featured image set. To set a default featured image or thumbnail you can use any of the below methods
1.By using the default featured image plugin
2.By manually add the necessary code in your theme’s file that displays the posts thumbnail such as index.php, single.php, home.php etc..)
This is the code you need to add
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
} else { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('yout_template_directory'); ?>/images/default-yourimage.jpg" alt="<?php your title(); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
