    HI. Really nice plug-in! I am trying to add the media credit line to my featured images. I am able to display the credit line if I add an image to a post, but I use the featured images to do this instead. I have not been able to get this to work – in spite of having selected the “Display credit for featured images” check box. What can I do to add this? I’ve tried the advice in some other posts, but they do not seem to fix the issue. Thanks, ab

    Which theme are you using? What code does it use to display the featured image?

    Hi Pepe. I am using the Headway theme. I don’t know what code it uses to display the featured image? It would be most helpful if you can be specific on the php code to insert? Thanks, AB

    As this appears to be a premium theme not available for download, I can’t help you with the specifics. The available template tags for printing media credits are described on the plugin website and in the FAQ.

    Basically, you have to call get_​media_​credit_​html with the post ID of your featured image (not the post ID of the post itself – WordPress terminology is a bit misleading here, because attachments/media are posts, too) somewhere in the template responsible for displaying the featured image.

    Hi. No, unfortunately not resolved.

    Is there some code that I can add to my theme’s custom php files to override this? I’m not a coder, and while I’m sure your FAQs have the right info there, I’m afraid that I need it a bit more spelled out. If it works, I’ll be happy to post this over on the Headway Themes forum and let people know of your solution.

    Evidently placing photo credits right underneath featured images is a huge problem. It would be terrific if there was a simpler way to solve for this.

    Thank you for your help. -ab

    Unless you or Headway Themes make the actual theme files available to me, there is simply nothing I can do. Sorry 🙁

    Since I haven’t heard from you after our last mail contact, I assume this has been resolved.
