<p>Adds source name and URL fields for media uploads along with a shortcode for displaying image credits for all images within an entry, including its featured image.</p>
<p>WordPress natively doesn’t provide the ability to manage where you’ve pulled different media from, so this can be helpful in making sure you provide links back to the contents’ creators.</p>

<ol>
<li>

<ul>
<li>Gutenberg blocks (Image, Gallery, Cover, Media & Text)</li>
<li>Classic Editor HTML content</li>
<li>Inline images in paragraph blocks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Storage</strong>: Image usage is tracked in a custom database table, while metadata (author, source, license) is stored as attachment post meta</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Management</strong>: Editors can add metadata through:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg sidebar panel (per-post view)</li>
<li>Media modal (global attachment editing)</li>
<li>Admin bulk editing interface</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Display</strong>: Image sources can be shown using:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shortcodes: <code>[imagcrco_image_sources]</code> or <code>[imagcrco_post_image_sources]</code></li>
<li>Dynamic block: “Image Sources” block</li>
<li>Automatic footer injection (configurable)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Supported Image Sources</h4>

<li>Media & Text blocks</li>
<li>Classic Editor HTML images</li>

<h4>Template Customization</h4>
