Better Image Credits is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to streamline the management of image credits for media uploads. It allows users to add credits, links, and license fields directly to their media items, ensuring proper attribution and compliance with licensing requirements. Users can utilize the [image-credits] shortcode or the the_image_credits() template tag, both of which come with optional parameters for customization. Additionally, the plugin offers an automatic display feature that can position credits before or after content, or overlay them directly on images.

The plugin also includes a widget for displaying credits in footers or sidebars, providing flexibility in presentation. Users can configure settings to determine how credits are displayed, including the HTML structure. As a fork of the existing Image Credits plugin, it maintains compatibility while offering enhanced control over image credit management. Notably, it respects user privacy by not collecting personal information from visitors.
