## Wopisanje

This is an extremely simple plugin that uses jQuery to remove broken images from
displaying on your pages.

Note that version 1 does _not_ alter any content in the database, nor does it remove
the image tags from the initial HTML output of the page, so it doesn’t stop 404 
errors, nor does it benefit SEO or PageSpeed scores. It does, however, prevent the
dreaded „broken image“ icon from appearing in your pages, and in most cases it will
remove the blank space some browsers allocate for images as they are loading.

**Coming in version 2:** We’ll be adding an admin tool to let you see a list of 
posts and pages containing broken images, along with a tool to automatically remove
their `img` tags from the database.

## FAQ

### I installed and activated the plugin. Now what?

That’s it! There is no configuration necessary. The plugin adds a compact bit of
JavaScript that detects if an image is returning a 404 error, and removes its HTML
code from displaying on the page.

### Does this plugin delete the image code from my page/post in the WordPress database?

No, version 1 does not make any changes whatsoever to your database. It also does
not remove the missing image file’s URL from the HTML that is sent to the user’s
web browser; it removes the tags from the DOM (Document Object Model) _after_ the
page has been loaded, using JavaScript, to prevent „broken image“ icons, extra white
space, and links/captions associated with those missing images from displaying.

### How can I redirect to the home page when an image is missing on a post?

The `r34rbi_missing_image` jQuery hook (added in version 1.4.0) allows you to modify
the plugin’s behavior with custom code, whenever a missing image is encountered.
It is used by the `r34rbi_redirect_on_missing_image` PHP filter (also added in version
1.4.0) to easily redirect to the home page in this situation, by adding this snippet
of PHP code to your theme:

    ```
    add_filter('r34rbi_redirect_on_missing_image', '__return_true');
    ```

You can replace `'__return_true'` with a custom callback function to change the 
redirect URL to something other than your site’s home page.

What’s with the misleading title? The “Remove Broken Images” plugin does NOT remove
broken images! W..
