Thanks. I tried something like that before by replacing the default image with a small transparent png, but your way is much cleaner. I’ve been having trouble hiding the blue read-article and article category labels that now are overlayed on top of the post text since the articles are missing. Do you know of a way to hide the read-article and category labels only for the posts with no image, but keep them for posts with images?
Or alternatively, can I anchor the read-more button at the same height as the share this button under the text of each article in the archives and search page? If the text is too short the read-article button appears over the like button which is distracting. For example, the post ‘Forum’ on https://albayanmag.org/?s=ome&submit=Search .
