Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Next Watermark

It does work. If not just let me know! ;-)

Yes, you can choose to apply text or/and image watermarks automatically when uploading new images in the Wordpress media gallery.

No, this has been corrected since 1.2, so a new watermark is now not watermaked of course!

It is very easy, you can set offset X and Y with negative value to be relative to right and bottom sides. For example set X and Y to -10px value to always have your watermark on bottom right corner of all your images even with different sizes. To set an image watermark, you can even use the preset positions to choose where to apply your watermark on your photos.

Just upload the .ttf files you need in the /fonts directory of the plugin to be able to use them.

No you must choose to restore your images BEFORE to remove the plugin. You can also restore your images manually from the wp-content/NWM directory.

Yes, if you have selected the backup option, you can restore all your images as before watermarking by pressing the 'Restore' button. You can choose to restore ALL the images from backup directory, or ONLY the images which are in your media library (the images you could have removed before from your media library won't be restored with this option). You can also go to the wp-content/NWM directory and manually select the images you want to restore, copy them to the /uploads directory of your Wordpress installation to replace the ones which has been watermarked. Only fullsize images are backed up, but it's very easy with any other plugins to generate the missing thumbnails again.

Yes, just go to the wp-content/NWM directory and manually select the image you want to restore, copy it to your /uploads directory of the Wordpress installation to replace the one which has been watermarked.
