WC_Install::delete_placeholder_image │ public static │ WC 11.0.0

Delete the placeholder image created by create_placeholder_image().

Removes the attachment post, its metadata and the underlying file, but only when the stored woocommerce_placeholder_image option still points at WooCommerce's own generated placeholder. A custom image set by the merchant through the "Placeholder image" setting is left untouched to avoid deleting merchant-owned media. The option itself is removed along with the rest of the woocommerce_ options during uninstall.

Method of the class: WC_Install{}

No Hooks.

Returns

null. Nothing (null).

Usage

$result = WC_Install::delete_placeholder_image();
