<p><strong>404 Image Redirection (Replace Broken Images)</strong> prevents broken image icons from appearing on your WordPress site. When a visitor requests an image that no longer exists, the plugin either serves a default replacement image or removes the broken image from the page entirely — your choice.</p>
<h4>Why this plugin?</h4>
<p>Broken images hurt your site:<br />
* They damage user experience — visitors lose trust instantly<br />
* They hurt your SEO — search engines penalize 404 errors<br />
* They look unprofessional — especially on product and content pages</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Replace broken images</strong> with a default image of your choice</li>
<li><strong>Hide broken images entirely</strong> — JavaScript removes them from the DOM along with their links and captions</li>
<li><strong>Custom redirection rules</strong> — map specific broken image URLs to specific replacement images</li>
<li><strong>Server-level performance on Apache</strong> — uses a small <code>.htaccess</code> rule, zero PHP overhead per request</li>
<li><strong>PHP fallback for Nginx and LiteSpeed</strong> — works on any host, even if <code>.htaccess</code> is unavailable</li>
<li><strong>Clean uninstall</strong> — removes only what the plugin added, never touches WordPress or other plugins’ rules</li>
<li><strong>Master kill switch</strong> — when you toggle the plugin off, it truly stops working</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>On Apache servers, the plugin writes a small rewrite rule to your <code>wp-content/.htaccess</code> file. When a visitor requests a missing image, your server serves the replacement image instead of returning a 404. This is fast (no PHP execution per image) and SEO-friendly (the response is a real 200 OK with a real image).</p>
<p>On Nginx, LiteSpeed, or hosts with a non-writable <code>.htaccess</code>, the plugin automatically falls back to a PHP-based handler that does the same job via WordPress’s <code>template_redirect</code> hook.</p>
<h4>Two display modes</h4>
<p><strong>1. Replace mode (default):</strong> Show your chosen default image whenever a broken image is requested. Best for visual consistency.</p>
<p><strong>2. Hide mode:</strong> Remove broken images from the page entirely, along with their parent link and surrounding <code><figure></code> or caption wrapper. Best for clean layouts where missing images should leave no trace.</p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any data outside your WordPress installation. No tracking, no analytics, no external requests.</p>
