* How can I edit caption?
Basically I want to change word “**BY:**” to other word.
Just a simple translation to my language

* This would be awesome. The option to customize the default caption would be generally
awesome… in fact this relates to my other feature request:

* Hey guys,
* I’m with little free time and could not answer before. Regarding the “BY: ” word,
you can translate using wpml string translation, just look for the ‘pickapic’
textdomain.
* I know it could be better to change it directly from WP admin but I’m working
on a new version of the plugin and I’m only doing bug fixes only on this version.
The good news is that this kind of suggestions will be taking into account. The
bad news is that it’s still not finished, but it will be soon.
* And it’s true “global” was needed on line 592, fixed on 1.2.6 (released today).

* May I propose that the plugin adopt the standard caption citation format, using
what Creative Commons says is the ideal style?
* See [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_practices_for_attribution#This_is_an_ideal_attribution](https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_practices_for_attribution#This_is_an_ideal_attribution)
* This means providing 1) the title linked to the source image page followed by
2) the author’s name linked to their page, and finally 3) the CC license abbreviation
linked to its page.
* Ideally separators like quotation marks, parentheses, etc. would be definable
in the plugin settings, and any language terms like “by” should be translatable
strings.
* Author/Photographer names in Flickr have always been a problem if you prefer
to have a real name used rather than the username which can often be humorous,
profane, or too informal. Does Flickr’s API provide access to the user’s real
profile name, if one exists? Sometimes this can only be determined by looking
at the user’s personal website if they provide a link or by googling them. I
often end up doing that so I don’t have to display usernames like “insane_kl0wn”
in photo captions where it would be seen as inappropriate.

* YES! I love Dan’s suggestion that the plugin template use the best practices
format:
* `"Photo Title" by Author is licensed under CC BY 2.0`

* That would be a nice feature. But please use rel=”nofollow” links.
