As of April 2026, Credit Line Generator is a WordPress credit plugin with 10 active installations and a 1/5 rating from 1 reviews. It has been downloaded 4.2K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.9+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2012. Top alternative: Remove Footer Credit.
This plug-in is a typing aid for image credits on posts and pages for the Classic editor.
It adds a button to your editor called ‘by’ in the Visual Editor and ‘credit’ in the Text Editor tab. Pressing the button conjures up a form that will let you fill out fields about the image, such as the name of the creator, and the URL of the license under which you are using the image.
Press submit, and the plug-in will paste a nicely formatted string at the current cursor position of your editor.
I am currently a happy user of my own plugin, and foresee no major changes in the future. Please let me know if there is any feature you could use.
If you are using WordPress 5.0 or higher with the Gutenberg editor, use the Classic Editor through the plugin of the same name.
