Better Image Credits Plugin

This plugin adds credits, link and license fields to media uploads and offer several options to display image credits on your posts and pages. You can either:

• Use the [image-credits] shortcode. Optional attributes are sep, before, after and template (use curly brackets instead of square brackets for placeholders).
• Use the the_image_credits() template tag. Optional parameters are sep, before, after and template.
• Let the plugin automatically display the credits for you, before or after the content or overlaid above each image.
• Use the widget to display the credits in the footer or the sidebars.

See the settings page to choose how you display the credits, including the HTML used to build them.

This plugin is a fork of the Image Credits plugin by Adam Capriola. It is 100% compatible, if you are already using the Image Credit plugin just replace it with this one and it will work about the same way, except you will have more control.
