PlaceHodor

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 "Placehold.co", "Picsum.photos", "Doodleipsum.com" or "LoremFlickr.com". Working on a staging or local copy? Set the origin site (e.g. your production site) in the settings: a media missing here is first looked up there, at the same path, and the visitor is redirected to it when it exists. The substitute image is only used when the file is missing on the origin too. Missing documents of the uploads folder (pdf, videos, Office files, zip) are looked up on the origin as well.

1.8.0

• New "Origin site" setting: a media missing here is first looked up on the origin site (e.g. production, from a staging or local copy) at the same path in the uploads folder, and the visitor is redirected to it when it exists; the substitute image is used otherwise
• Existence check by HEAD request, cached a week when found and an hour when missing (network errors and 5xx are not cached)
• When an origin is set, missing documents of the uploads folder (pdf, mp4, webm, mov, mp3, zip, Office files) are looked up on the origin too
• Nothing to serve: plain 404 instead of a wp_die page
