Description

This plugin adds new meta fields for images within the WordPress media library. You can display all your images in one place with corresponding copyrights (photographer and platform) via a simple shortcode. Especially the German law forces website owners to display all the copyright holders of graphics and photos used on a website.

Features:

  • adds new meta fields for media library items
  • edit copyright holder / photographer name
  • set an optional stock photo platform
  • shortcode [photo_credits] displays all images with credits set
  • optional image overlay with copyright information

Screenshots

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Edit copyright information in your media library items.
  4. Use the shortcode [photo_credits] in order to display a simple table with all your copyrighted images.
  5. Optionally change table layout by addressing CSS class table.photo-credits-table in your theme’s stylesheet.
  6. Activate an optional copyright overlay for images under Settings > Media > Image Rights Options

Funktioniert wunderbar. Wäre cool wenn man auch noch ne Option hätte, wo man die gleiche Funktion auch zur Bildern hinzufügen könnte die auf der Hauptseite als Vorschau erscheinen und als Links zum eigentlichen Beitrag führen.
