How to Add Image Credits in WordPress
Crediting the authors and sources of the images on your WordPress website is incredibly important. Adding due image credits ensures you are compliant with copyright laws, but it can also do wonders for your reputation.
Image credits show you understand and respect the hard work that goes into creating these photos and artwork. Sure, adding an image to your website takes less than a minute – but creating them can take hours, days, or even weeks.
Before Gutenberg editor, the only way to add image credit in WordPress was regular text under the picture with information and link to the source. Sometimes, it took extra time to format this text and differentiate it from the rest of the content. If you update your editor to Gutenberg, this hassle becomes a thing of the past.
Here’s how to add image credits in WordPress websites using Gutenberg editor.
To upload the image to your blog post and webpage, open the page backend. In the upper left corner click on the “plus” icon and search for the Gutenberg image block.
You can upload a new image from your computer, URL, or use an image that is already in the media library.
When you add an image, you can find a small “write caption” field under the image. When you click on it, you can enter text or insert a link.
This is the final result.
That’s it – a hassle-free way to add image credits in WordPress!
