Defining the thumbnails (Album Art)
The thumbnails used in the widget are taken from the posts’ featured images. In the event that a podcast does not have a featured image available, Message Flow will check the following locations for a suitable fallback image:
- 01A URL to the fallback image in the shortcode: [message_flow fallback_image="http://example.com/default_image.png"]
- 02If you’re using the PowerPress podcasting plugin, the default image will be taken from the iTunes image. PowerPress users can configure this in the “iTunes Feed Settings” section of PowerPress’ configuration. (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=powerpress/powerpressadmin_basic.php)
- 03In your theme’s directory. Just make sure it’s 165 pixels square and named “unknown-album_165.png”
