PB Text and Images Placeholder Fallback Suite
·
Fallback images, dynamic text placeholders, initials avatars, brand colours, and image-health tools for WordPress.
PB Text and Images Placeholder Fallback Suite fills common empty image locations on your WordPress site with a clean, professional placeholder — or your own custom image. 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
<img>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.
