What It Does

Media Credit is a plugin that enhances your media uploads by adding a 'Credit' field. This field allows you to properly credit the artist of the media you use in your posts. When you upload media through the Media Uploader or edit existing media, you can assign credit to a user or enter freeform text.

Once the media is inserted into a post, the credit information is displayed below the media using a shortcode. This shortcode can be customized with your own styles. You can also showcase all media by a specific author on their author page.

The plugin offers several options for customization, including the separator between the artist's name and the organization, and the ability to display credits at the end of posts. This ensures that all media is properly attributed while maintaining a clean presentation on your blog.

FAQ

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file to get rid of those pesky [media-credit] shortcodes:

<?php function ignore_media_credit_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {     return $content; } global $shortcode_tags; if ( ! array_key_exists( 'media-credit', $shortcode_tags ) )     add_shortcode( 'media-credit', 'ignore_media_credit_shortcode' ); ?>

Also, I’d really appreciate it if you gave us some feedback as to why you disabled the plugin and how it could have better suited your needs.

You sure can. Just add the link attribute in the media-credit shortcode, found in HTML view for a post, or directly when adding an image. For example, if your post contains:

[media-credit name="Artist" align="left" width="300"]<img src="https://www.mysite.com/files/2010/09/image.jpg" width="300" height="450" class="size-300 wp-image-2" />[/media-credit]

change it to:

[media-credit name="Artist" link="https://www.artistwebsite.com/" align="left" width="300"]<img src="https://www.mysite.com/files/2010/09/image.jpg" width="300" height="450" class="size-300 wp-image-2" />[/media-credit]
