Wordpress Featured Image Question

I have a Wordpress site with 153 posts in one of the categories.

I want to use the same featured image for all 153 posts in that one category.

Is there a plugin that can do this? I'm having a hard time finding one that will do what I need it to do without having to edit the code.

Any suggestions?

    Instead of using it as featured image, why not add the code for the image in the single.php file so that it shows up for every post.

      Can it be done for only a single category? I have other categories in which the posts have their own featured image and I don't want to change those.

    Rich,
    I have not used this one, but it looks like what you're looking for.

    If you wish to do the simple straightforward way, upload the image into the library. Then just go to every post and put it as your featured image.

      I'm sure it will, but it's out of my league.

      I checked it out, but don't have any idea on how to implement it.

      Any ideas?

        Please backup your files before you edit, this solution doesn't work for sub categories, and if your theme follows different coding style this may return errors.
        check this solution

        select your function.php file in your wordpress theme search for
        PHP Code:
        <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
        Then Upload your default image into media directory



        replace above code with
        PHP Code:
        <?php if (  (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())) : ?>

        <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>

        <?php else :?>

        <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/your image directory/<?php  = get_the_category(); echo ->cat_name; ?>.jpg" /> 

        <?php endif;?>
        Plugin solution
        if you're not comfortable editing files try : category thumbnail plugin
