Configure each supported location independently from the plugin settings. **Covered image slots:** * **Featured Images** — posts, pages, and any custom post type (configurable per post type) * **User Avatars & Gravatars** — shown when a user has no Gravatar photo * **WooCommerce Product Images** — catalog grid, single product, gallery thumbnails, cart, and mini-cart * **Open Graph / Social Share Images** — compatible with Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, and RankMath * **Broken Images — Global Catch-all** — Optional JavaScript handler for many broken frontend `` elements **Intelligent dynamic placeholders:** * **Dynamic Text Placeholders** — generates SVG placeholders with the post title, category emoji, and category name embedded directly on the image. Each supported post can receive a distinct placeholder generated from its available metadata. * **Initials Avatar Generator** — generates personalised circle, square, or rounded avatars with user initials (for example, “JD”). Available in brand colours or a consistent random colour per user. * **Automatic Brand Colour Detection** — scans your active theme’s colour palette( editor palette, global styles, customiser) and uses the primary brand colour for all generated placeholders. No external requests. * **Category Placeholder Mapping** — map post categories and WooCommerce product categories to custom emojis and colours. Technology💻, Travel✈️, Food🍽️, Business 📈. **Site health tools:** * **Image Health Dashboard** — shows posts, pages, and products without a usable featured-image attachment, plus registered users covered by the avatar fallback. Statistics refresh every 10 minutes from the database. * **Fix Missing Images** — a dedicated screen listing all posts/pages/products missing a featured image. Select multiple posts and bulk-assign any Media Library image as the featured image in one click. **Why this plugin stands out:** * ✅ Ships with **8 bundled SVG placeholders** at the correct dimensions for each slot * ✅ Bundled SVG placeholders are each under 2 KB * ✅ **No external calls** — everything is self-contained, including dynamic SVG generation * ✅ **No account required** — install and go * ✅ Each slot is independently toggled — enable only what you need * ✅ Choose bundled placeholder, your own custom image from the Media Library, or dynamic generated placeholders **Bundled placeholder sizes:** Slot Size Featured image 1200 × 628 px Post thumbnail 800 × 450 px Open Graph image 1200 × 630 px User avatar 96 × 96 px Author image 150 × 150 px WooCommerce product 800 × 800 px WooCommerce catalog 324 × 324 px WooCommerce gallery thumb 100 × 100 px ## Screenshots [⌊Settings - Fallback Image - 1st Screen⌉⌊Settings - Fallback Image - 1st Screen⌉[ Settings – Fallback Image – 1st Screen [⌊Settings - Fallback Image - 2nd Screen⌉⌊Settings - Fallback Image - 2nd Screen⌉[ Settings – Fallback Image – 2nd Screen [⌊Settings - Text Placeholders⌉⌊Settings - Text Placeholders⌉[ Settings – Text Placeholders [⌊Settings - Avatar Generator⌉⌊Settings - Avatar Generator⌉[ Settings – Avatar Generator [⌊Settings - Brand Colors⌉⌊Settings - Brand Colors⌉[ Settings – Brand Colors [⌊Settings.- Category Mapping⌉⌊Settings.- Category Mapping⌉[ Settings.- Category Mapping [⌊Settings - Other Integrations⌉⌊Settings - Other Integrations⌉[ Settings – Other Integrations [⌊Analytics⌉⌊Analytics⌉[ Analytics [⌊Auto Fix - Posts and Pages⌉⌊Auto Fix - Posts and Pages⌉[ Auto Fix – Posts and Pages ## Installation 1.

No. All placeholder images are bundled inside the plugin directory, and dynamic SVG placeholders are generated server-side using PHP. No data is sent to any external server at any time. ### Will this slow down my site? The plugin is designed to be lightweight. Bundled placeholders are SVG files under 2 KB each. Dynamic placeholders are generated server-side and use browser caching headers. The optional broken-image handler loads a small frontend script only when enabled. ### What are dynamic text placeholders? When enabled, instead of showing a generic grey box, the plugin generates a unique SVG for each post containing the post title, category emoji, and category name. Each supported post can receive a different placeholder based on its title and category information. ### How does the initials avatar generator work? The generator creates a personalised avatar with the user’s initials (first letter of first name + first letter of last name). The colour is consistent per user (based on a hash of the user ID) or uses your brand colour, depending on your setting. Works for registered WordPress users. Anonymous commenters use the configured static avatar fallback. ### Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes. When WooCommerce is active, the WooCommerce slot appears automatically. It replaces the built-in grey box placeholder across the shop catalog, single product pages, gallery, cart, and mini-cart. Optionally, each product can show its category emoji and name on the placeholder. ### Does it interfere with Yoast SEO / AIOSEO / RankMath? No. For the Open Graph slot, the plugin provides a fallback URL directly to those plugins via their own filter hooks. It only outputs a generic `` tag on sites where none of those plugins is active. ### What happens if I uninstall the plugin? The plugin removes its settings, legacy broken-image counter, and cached dashboard statistics. It does not delete posts, media, users, or featured-image assignments. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PB Text and Images Placeholder Fallback Suite” is open source software.
