Image Rights Plugin

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.

• adds new meta fields for media library items

• set an optional stock photo platform
• shortcode [photo_credits] displays all images with credits set
