PlaceHodor

Description

Substitute / replace missing images by a default image.

The plugin will (try to) display / generate the good size (width and height) of the image missing.
You can choose to replace the image by one picture uploaded in the Placehodor settings page.
Or you can choose to replace the images missing by images from the placeholder webservices “Placeholder.com”, “Placeimg.com” or “Picsum.photos”.

With 1.2.0, the plugin will try to replace images broken from external source and also manage image loaded after the document was ready (by ajax for example).
The images missing in Gutenberg will also be replaced.
Big thanks to Pat OL for the help in debugging :]

Since 1.1.0, you can choose to set a default thumbnail to all the posts that are not set.

... on broken images or images removed from Media Library. Little enhancement suggestion: Option for something like a little JS-snippet, that removes the former figcaption if set. (just a simple nextsibling and remove combination) Nice 🙂
