I would like a default image option. This is good for like when I create employee pages and want to use a photo that says “coming soon” or “Image not available”.
I never gave this much thought, although I do the same thing the same thing every time I need to have a default image. I always need to create custom code in the template to see if there’s an image and then do the default stuff.
Just did some testing and I can set a default image using a filter like this
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=image', 'set_default_image');
function set_default_image($field) {
$field['default_value'] = 258;
return $field;
}
Then I tried this, this code will add a default setting to every image field when you create it, it’s just a text field, I’ve just started playing with adding additional settings to ACF fields so I don’t know what else is possible.
add_action('acf/render_field_settings/type=image', 'add_default_value_to_image_field', 20);
function add_default_value_to_image_field($field) {
acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
'label' => __('Default Image ID','acf'),
'instructions' => __('Appears when creating a new post','acf'),
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'default_value',
));
}
Even better, shows an image field to select an image
add_action('acf/render_field_settings/type=image', 'add_default_value_to_image_field', 20);
function add_default_value_to_image_field($field) {
acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
'label' => __('Default Image ID','acf'),
'instructions' => __('Appears when creating a new post','acf'),
'type' => 'image',
'name' => 'default_value',
));
}
How do you specify a default value for “acf/render_field_settings”?
I have a “true_false” field type and it always defaults to true… I want it to default to false.
I think you would set 'default_value' => 0. When I have questions like this I generally create a field like the type I want to use for my field with the settings I want it to have and then do an export to code to see that the settings are.

Never though of that… Thanks!!
