In case of an image (png,jpg,gif) missing thus giving a 404 error, I would like Nginx to send back a fallback image e.g. https://example.com/fallback.png

I tried the following with no success

location ~* ^/[^/]*/(.*)\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
   try_files $uri https://example.com/fallback.png =404;
}

Any help would be most appreciated.

If this server is `https://example.com`, you should be using: `try_files $uri /fallback.png =404;` – Richard Smith Sep 11 '20 at 06:36
@RichardSmith Thank you for the suggestion. That didn't do the trick either. I don't know if this happens due to the site being a WordPress one. – Onisiforos Sep 12 '20 at 14:35
What exactly happened? – Michael Hampton Sep 16 '20 at 00:06
