trying to use media credit with http://theme.co/x/ and seem to be facing the same issue someone else had a while ago:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-media-credit-featured-image-credit

i’m getting the post author’s name, not the credit field.

i already contacted the theme’s support to make sure the place i’m adding the template-tags actually is within the loop – which it is. so – any other ideas? this theme is split into a lot of pieces, so i guess just the file (content.php) i added the tags to won’t help:
```
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-featured">
        <?php x_featured_image(); ?>
        <?php get_media_credit($post); ?>
        <?php the_media_credit($post); ?>
  </div>
  <div class="entry-wrap">
    <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', '_content', 'post-header' ); ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_content' ); ?>
  </div>
  <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', '_content', 'post-footer' ); ?>
  <?php x_google_authorship_meta(); ?>
</article>
```
tia,
markus.

You need to supply the post-ID of the featured image, not of the parent post (via get_post_thumbnail_id):
```
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-featured">
        <?php x_featured_image(); ?>
        <?php the_media_credit_html(get_post_thumbnail_id()); ?>
  </div>
  <div class="entry-wrap">
    <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', '_content', 'post-header' ); ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_content' ); ?>
  </div>
  <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', '_content', 'post-footer' ); ?>
  <?php x_google_authorship_meta(); ?>
</article>
```

ah.. ok.. silly me..

something else, can’t find if it’s actually a feature: all my media’s credit fields have been filled with the uploading user’s name after installation, is this normal? is there a way to turn this off and/or nuke all prefilled entries (but probably not without doing it in mysql i guess..)

thanks,
markus.

No, unfortunately not. The next version will have an option to ignore the attachment authors, though (i.e. you will only see “freeform text” credits).

something else cropping up.. posts not having a featured image assigned still show the author’s name in the place the credit would be if there was an image.. expected? using this code now:
```
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-featured">
        <?php x_featured_image(); ?>
  <div class="caption">
        <?php the_media_credit(get_post_thumbnail_id()); ?>
  </div>
  </div>
  <div class="entry-wrap">
    <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', '_content', 'post-header' ); ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_content' ); ?>
  </div>
  <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', '_content', 'post-footer' ); ?>
  <?php x_google_authorship_meta(); ?>
</article>
```

Put your caption inside a conditional statment with has_post_thumbnail().
