    So I found a lot of tutorials with codes to do this. but at a point they said to put this code in the Loop. For Hestia Theme, where should i put this code? 

    <?php
// This code must should be inside WordPress post loop
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
}
else {
echo get_first_image();
}
?>

    Or any kind of help in this topic would be appreciated.

    i used only this code in function.php at everything is fine. problem solved.

    function prefix_auto_featured_image() {
    global $post;
    if (!has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
        $attached_image = get_children( "post_parent=$post->ID&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&numberposts=1" );
         
      if ($attached_image) {
              foreach ($attached_image as $attachment_id => $attachment) {
                   set_post_thumbnail($post->ID, $attachment_id);
              }
         }
    }
}
add_action('the_post', 'prefix_auto_featured_image');
add_action('save_post', 'prefix_auto_featured_image');
add_action('draft_to_publish', 'prefix_auto_featured_image');
add_action('new_to_publish', 'prefix_auto_featured_image');
add_action('pending_to_publish', 'prefix_auto_featured_image');
add_action('future_to_publish', 'prefix_auto_featured_image');
