I hated the fact that all my events were defaulting to having gravatars as their image. Even more so because I had selected mysteryman as my default avatar type. Anyway, I from my perspective most users are not creating Featured Images for their events, so I wanted to be able to create a custom Default Event Image. Here is the code to do so:
For this to work, an administrator first needs to create a dummy page with a featured image attachment. The name of that featured image must be "Default Event Image". You can call the page whatever you want, but I also called it "Default Event Image."
If you make the following code change, all new events without an image will now pick up your default image.
