<p>This plugin adds credits, link and license fields to media uploads and offer several options to display image credits on your posts and pages. You can either:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the [image-credits] shortcode. Optional attributes are <code>sep</code>, <code>before</code>, <code>after</code> and <code>template</code> (use curly brackets instead of square brackets for placeholders).</li>
<li>Use the <code>the_image_credits()</code> template tag. Optional parameters are <code>sep</code>, <code>before</code>, <code>after</code> and <code>template</code>.</li>
<li>Let the plugin automatically display the credits for you, before or after the content or overlaid above each image.</li>
<li>Use the widget to display the credits in the footer or the sidebars.</li>
</ul>
<p>See the settings page to choose how you display the credits, including the HTML used to build them.</p>
<p>This plugin is a fork of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-credits/" rel="ugc">Image Credits plugin</a> by <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/adamcapriola/" rel="nofollow ugc">Adam Capriola</a>. It is 100% compatible, if you are already using the Image Credit plugin just replace it with this one and it will work about the same way, except you will have more control.</p>

Better Image Credits

This plugin adds credits, link and license fields to media uploads and offer several options to display image credits on your posts and pages.

<p>This plug-in is a typing aid for image credits on posts and pages for the Classic editor.</p>
<p>It adds a button to your editor called ‘by’ in the Visual Editor and ‘credit’ in the Text Editor tab. Pressing the button conjures up a form that will let you fill out fields about the image, such as the name of the creator, and the URL of the license under which you are using the image.</p>
<p>Press submit, and the plug-in will paste a nicely formatted string at the current cursor position of your editor.</p>
<p>I am currently a happy user of my own plugin, and foresee no major changes in the future. Please let me know if there is any feature you could use.</p>
<p>If you are using WordPress 5.0 or higher with the Gutenberg editor, use the Classic Editor through the plugin of the same name.</p>
<p>There is a known problem when using this plugin in the Gutenberg editor with the Classic block: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pop-up-doesnt-work-if-classic-block-editor-is-itself-a-pop-up/ .</p>
<h4>GDPR compliance</h4>
<p>This plugin helps you helps you format personal data (such as the name and online address of a photographer), but it does not store such data itself.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 3.9 or newer.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that earlier versions of this plug-in function perfectly fine with earlier versions of WordPress. Version 1.2.1 of the plug-in supports WordPress 3.3 through 3.8.x, but does not support the visual editor.</p>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li><em>Photo</em> by John Smith.</li>
<li><em>Photo of a fire truck</em> by John Smith, <em>some rights reserved</em>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Rationale</h4>
<p>My goal in writing this plugin was mainly to help me avoid typos.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>A setting will enable wrapping the credit line in HTML mark-up, so that you can style it more easily. This setting is off by default.</p>
<h3>Alternatives</h3>
<p>There are plugins that add a credit field to media, which you can then display in your post using a shortcode. Media Credit by Peter Putzer is an example:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="WhzI1UjrmV"><p><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-credit/" rel="ugc">Media Credit</a></p></blockquote>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" title="“Media Credit” — Plugin Directory" src="https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-credit/embed/#?secret=sI38CzTODT#?secret=WhzI1UjrmV" data-secret="WhzI1UjrmV" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Plugins also exist that let you read IPTC meta data from image files and display it in your content using meta tags, for instance using JSM’s Adobe XMP / IPTC for WordPress:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="MaIcXfhvJI"><p><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/adobe-xmp-for-wp/" rel="ugc">JSM Adobe XMP / IPTC for WordPress</a></p></blockquote>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" title="“JSM Adobe XMP / IPTC for WordPress” — Plugin Directory" src="https://wordpress.org/plugins/adobe-xmp-for-wp/embed/#?secret=ztajv9U0Ah#?secret=MaIcXfhvJI" data-secret="MaIcXfhvJI" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
