Perform a check to see if an external image URL is a 404
. asked 2 years ago
As the title says. If datafeedr has products where the image url leads to a 404 page, is there a way to detect this on import and assign the standard woocommerce placeholder in its place

This should be happening already in External Images.
- Check if the post/product has an external image, if so, display it
- Else, use the normal code which will grab uploaded images if they are there
- If no uploaded image, it runs the woo placeholder
- Inside the placeholder hooks, I do recheck if there is an external image – this is backwards compatibility code for our older users.
What are you actually seeing?
Ah – I think I understand now – you are saying at step 1 – there IS an image URL but the image URL fails and produces a 404.
I will add an option to the External Images page for a fallback image placeholder and then in there you can add the Woo placeholder image.
I’ve created a feature request for this here:
