  • Saved My Site After a Media Cleanup!

    This plugin has been a real lifesaver for my site. I had several posts with images that were accidentally deleted during a cleanup, and instead of showing broken image icons everywhere, this plugin seamlessly replaced them with my fallback image. The setup was quick, the interface is simple, and it works across the entire site without any extra effort.
