Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Media Credit

Indeed, just call the template tag <?php \Media_Credit::display_author_media( $author_id ); ?> in your theme's author.php (or elsewhere, if you want). The template tag has optional parameters if you want to customize the CSS or text. The default options will display thumbnails of the 10 most recent media items credited to the given user floated to the right with a width of 150px and a header of <h3>Recent Media</h3>. These options can be changed with a more verbose call to the function: <?php \Media_Credit::display_author_media( $author_id, $sidebar = true, $limit = 10, $link_without_parent = false, $header = "<h3>Recent Media</h3>", $exclude_unattached = true ); ?>. This will make only the 10 most recent media items that are attached to a post display with the given header taking up the maximum width it's afforded. Each image will link to the post in which it appears, or the attachment page if it has no parent post (unless $link_without_parent is set to false). If you don't care about whether the media is attached to a post, change $exclude_unattached to false. This function as a whole will only display media uploaded and credited to a user after this plugin was installed.

I'm so glad you asked; you certainly can! Just call <?php \Media_Credit::get_html( $attachment ); ?> with an attachment id (int) or WP_Post object for an attachment to get the media credit, including a link to the author page. To echo the results, call <?php \Media_Credit::html( $attachment ); ?>.

Yep! If you would prefer plain-text rather than a link for all media credit (and leaving out the separator and organization), call <?php \Media_Credit::get_plaintext( $attachment ); ?> which uses the same parameter as above. To echo the results, call <?php \Media_Credit::plaintext( $attachment ); ?>.

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] Note the link to www.artistwebsite.com above.

Unfortunately, this is a known bug in JetPack that can only be fixed by Automattic. As a workaround, use a different plugin for posting to social networks. Alternatively, if you make sure that you haven't got any images with credits within the first 55 words of your article, you should be fine, too.
