Magento – Magento 2 placeholder image only showing in thumbnail

defaultimagemagento2placeholder

I have the same placeholder image uploaded for all four options: base, small, swatch, and thumbnail. The placeholder is showing fine for the thumbnail on the category page, but when I click on one to go to the product details page it shows default magento placeholder instead of the custom one I have uploaded.

Any clue as to what could have caused this? I have already tried both clearing the cache and running setup:static-content:deploy.

One simple solution is overwrite the base placeholder images themselves in our theme. So create this folder path:

app/design/frontend/[VENDOR]/[THEME]/Magento_Catalog/web/images/product/placeholder

Then in the placeholder folder you need to upload:

image.jpg
small_image.jpg
thumbnail.jpg
