Overview

About this plugin

This plugin contains a widget that can be used to show placeholders on widget areas where you still have to do some

work. it” to generate the image.

This plugin comes in handy if you have a customer that you would like to show the layout of his upcoming website

and can use placeholders to show him the proportions and with the use of text, what comes where.

You can customize the text and the colors,

and you can add wrappers and wrapper classes. The settings page makes it possible to work with default values of your

own choice.

This plugin owes credits to: Tareq Hasan for I have used his Settings Class for the settings page.

After the plugin is activated you can start immediattely adding widgets, but you could also have a look first

at the plugin’s options that can be found in the settings menu of WordPress.

Here you can change the defaults that are used when you add a new widgets. But remember that any widgets that are

already set, will not automatically get any changes you’ve made to the defaults. Changes only apply to widgets

configured after you’ve changed the default values of the plugin.

additional classes

You can also add some classes before and after the widget, to match it with your own development CSS.

bootstrap

e. “col-md-6”). To make sure

that the placeholders are nicely filling the space you should make the dimensions a lot bigger than the size of the

column, bootstrap css will make that the placeholders fit in the columns.

You can use the “img-responsive” class as well to make sure that the placeholder will resize responsively.

What this plugin is not

With this plugin you can place placeholders with text or dimensions, that’s it. No images of cats, dogs or pizza’s.

Just boring looking placeholders. The developers have no intention to develop this plugin any further than that.

For placeholder plugins with cats, dogs or pizza’s, you have to look for another plugin. The placeholders in this

plugin are just for development and preview purpose only and are not meant for keeping them on your final production

website, nor can it be used for placeholding in case real images don’t exist.
