The php5-gd library on some Debian hosts doesn’t include imagerotate() due to memory leaks.
If you notice that rotating images does not work in the image editor, just install this plugin to supply an alternative imagerotate() function.

ImageRotate

Alternative implementation of GD's imagerotate() function.

WordPress.org

This plugin determines and stores the dominant color for newly uploaded images in the media library within WordPress and then uses it to create a placeholder background of that color in the frontend, visible until the image is loaded.
This plugin was formerly known as Dominant Color Images.

Image Placeholders


does not break the site, but all placeholders are grey. color detection does not work.



I host WP docker latest myself with nginx and imageick + gd + webp + AVIF so yeah i think my setup is not in cause


does nothing


This is such a nice enhancement for any site! 


Works exactly as advertised

Displays placeholders based on an image's dominant color while the image is loading.
