Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Easy Watermark

Yes, since version 0.6.0 there is an option to "remove" watermark by restoring the original image. Backup feature is enabled by default, you can disable it on the "Tools > Easy Watermark" screen. Note: this will use more space on your server due to the fact that the images will be stored twice. Only the fullsize image is stored in backup, thumbnails are regenerated during the restoring process. To restore the original image just go to the attachment edit page. In the "Easy Watermark" meta box you can find the "Restore original image" button. You can also do this via Media page and bulk actions.

The plugin doesn't restore your images on deactivation/removal. Please consider to install the plugin again and restore your images before uninstalling. If you don't have a possibility to do this, you can manually restore your images. Just go to wp-content/ew-backup in your wordpress main directory. You will see there are folders in the same order like in uploads, images are stored as /year/month/imagename.jpg|png. What you need is to copy all the files from ew-backup to uploads dir (it will ask you if you want to override the existing files, click YES). As mensioned before, this will restore only the fullsize images so you need to use some other plugin to generate the thumbnails again (see Force Regenerate Thumbnails by Pedro Elsner).

You can go to "Tools > Easy Watermark > Tools" screen and use bulk action options.

Watermark position can be adjusted vertically and horizontally by selecting alignment (left, center, right, top, middle, bottom). You can also define horizontal and vertical offset.

Yes, there is a posibility to add only image, only text or both.

You can choose text font from the list of ten fonts included to this plugin. You can also set font size, color, angle and opacity. Position of text watermark can be adjusted exactly like the image watermark position.

Unfortunately no. In PRO version you'll be able to use more fonts.

On the watermark image settings page you can se 'Scaling Mode' selection which has 5 options: * 'None' - watermark scaling is off * 'Cover' - watermark will fill the entire image * 'Contain' - watermark width or height will be adjusted to image width or height in such a way that it will be all visible * 'Fit to Width' - watermark width will always be adjusted to image width * 'Fit to Height' - watermark height will always be adjusted to image height If 'Scale down only' checkbox is checked, any scaling will be done only for images smaller than watermark image. Watermark ratio is always preserved, so it can go beyond the image when the 'Scaling Mode' is set to 'Fill'. With 'Fit to Width' or 'Fit to Height' options watermark dimensions can be set as a percentage in relation to the image dimensions.

All available placeholders are listed in a box titled 'Placeholders' displayed while creating the Text Watermark.

Unfortunately, no. It is planned though for one of the releases in the undefined future.
