Placeholder image in WooCommerce

Hi Guido!

The current hook is wc_placeholder_img_src

Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks for your response. When I replace the filter with the new one, my code snippet doesn’t work anymore; the default WC placeholder is displayed again.

add_filter('wc_placeholder_img_src', 'wc_custom_placeholder_img');

I use this and it seems to work:

/**
* xxxxxx FUNCTION TO CHANGE WOOCOMMERCE PLACEHOLDER
*/
// Add action to hook into the approp
add_filter( 'woocommerce_placeholder_img_src', 'growdev_custom_woocommerce_placeholder', 10 );
/**
 * Function to return new placeholder image URL.
 */
function growdev_custom_woocommerce_placeholder( $image_url ) {
  $image_url = '/placeholderMODIFIED.png';  // change this to the URL to your custom placeholder
  return $image_url;
}

Hi,

It still does work but filter woocommerce_placeholder_img_src is deprecated and is replaced by wc_placeholder_img_src.

But when I use this new filter in my code snippet, my custom placeholder isn’t displayed anymore:

function wc_custom_thumbnail() { 
	function wc_custom_placeholder_img( $src ) { 
		$src = get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/images/product.jpg'; 
		return $src; 
	}
	add_filter('wc_placeholder_img_src', 'wc_custom_placeholder_img'); 
} 
add_action( 'init', 'wc_custom_thumbnail' ); 

So the problem is the new filter: wc_placeholder_img_src

Hi Guido!

Just had another look — its actually the woocommerce_placeholder_img_src function that is deprecated, the woocommerce_placeholder_img_src filter still works.

Aha, thanks… there was some confusion here (filter vs function) ??

So I don’t have to update my code snippet anymore. Solved.
