# Wrong credit

 * I just came across your Media Credit plugin and it seems like it could be quite
   useful. However, I have come across a small snag. The default name that is shown
   is not mine and I cannot figure out how to change it. Would you please advise?
   Thank you.

 * I’m not quite sure which default name you mean (on the frontend or the example
   in the settings page). When no freetext credit is set, credit is given to the
   owner of the image (“attachment”) object.
 * If you don’t want that, there is an option to disable default credits completely.

 * Yes, thank you for asking. I think that whatever name I log in with to my admin
   panel is the one it shows as the default. I am still trying to figure out how
   to use the app, though. It appears in my Media Library but does not seem to attach
   itself to any photos.

 * What exactly are you trying to do and what is not working? Have you had a look
   at the [screenshots](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-credit/screenshots/)?
   They are not quite current, but the basic workflow has remained the same.

 * Is it possible that you this issue was the same as [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-credit-doesnt-display-if-no-caption-present?replies=19](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-credit-doesnt-display-if-no-caption-present?replies=19)?
   If so, 3.0.3 should have fixed this. If not, please advise me on the steps to
   reproduce the errant behavior.

 * I assume this has been resolved then.
