Prevent setting default credit

    Hi

    Great plugin, I really like it.
    But I was wondering, whether it would be possible to prevent the default behavior, where plugin attributes photo credit to the post author.

    I know it’s possible to prevent displaying this information, but we would actually rather not setting this at all – leaving field empty – unless someone adds freeform text.

    In our use case we end up with a media library, where loads of images are wrongfully credited, and even if it does not show in the fronted, it stills a mess.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    The plugin does not add anything for the default credit technically, it only shows the author assigned to the attachment object (which is a builtin WordPress property).

    Thanks for clarifying – so the attachment author is displayed in the credit field, but not actually stored as such in wp_postmeta.

    And the attachment author is also credited in the frontend unless it is prevented in the plugin setting.

    It’s a little confusion, but I hope I get it now.

    Yes, the plugin uses two postmeta keys (for free-form credits and the optional URL). “On-site” credits (non free-form) are saved by changing the post_author of the attachment.

    I’ll have a look though, if disabling the backend for “No default credits” is doable without too many contortions.

    I’ve opened an enhancement request on Github. Let’s track this there.
