Hello! I'm writing a game engine using C++ and was wondering how I would create a custom image loader that supports PNG, DDS, & JPG. I saw that D3DX11CreateShaderResourceViewFromFile has been removed. How would I do this? Thanks! :)

I use FreeImage in OpenGL, should work in dx too. I find it rather easy to use. I also heard of DevIL but i never used it.

Don't go crazy writing your own image loader. The spiritual successor to the D3DX loaders is the WICTextureLoader in the DirectX Tool Kit.
