broken placeholder image URL - /Magento_Catalog/images/product/placeholder/.jpg

Magento CE v2.1.6

Infortis Ultimo Theme

Front end Catalog Product Grid generating broken placeholder thumbnail image URL

The Product page (large) placeholder image works OK

Unable to resolve the source file for 'frontend/Infortis/ultimo/en_US/Magento_Catalog/images/product/placeholder/.jpg'

#0 /var/www/html/vendor/magento/framework/App/StaticResource.php(97): Magento\Framework\View\Asset\File->getSourceFile()

#1 /var/www/html/vendor/magento/framework/App/Bootstrap.php(258): Magento\Framework\App\StaticResource->launch()

#2 /var/www/html/pub/static.php(13): Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap->run(Object(Magento\Framework\App\StaticResource))

#3 {main}

I have attempted:

Reloading images via: Stores > Settings > Configuration > Catalog > Product Image Placeholders

(yes, I am aware of this documented bug)

Confirming existence of images: image.jpg, small_image.jpg, thumbnail.jpg

in directory app/design/frontend/[THEME]/Magento_Catalog/images/product/placeholder

I have seen others experienced same behavior, but have yet to find a solution.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Hi,
I am facing same issue on an environment with 2 websites, just on the second website.
Tried everything, static content deploy, image cache flush but nothing.

Did you find any solution?

Thanks,

Make sure is you using correct imageId in your imageHelper

public function getImageUrl($product)
{
    $image = $product->getImage();

    return $image && $image != 'no_selection'
        ? $this->imageHelper
            ->init($product, 'product_thumbnail_image')
            ->setImageFile($image)
            ->getUrl()
        : $this->imageHelper->getDefaultPlaceholderUrl('thumbnail');
}

For example, use 

product_thumbnail_image

for getting product thumbnail image

P.S. all image ids described in vendor/theme-frontend-luma/etc/view.xml or in etc/view.xml of your custom theme
