Easy search and use CC-licensed images for WP helps you search millions of free photos using the Openverse API and insert the original image into your content or set as featured image very quickly.
\nIt allows the user to filter the provider source.
\nThe plugin is inspired and based on the [CCSearch] (https://ccsearch.creativecommons.org/) and it wouldnt’t be possible without the Openverse API.

After the plugin’s activation, you can see the “Image with CC License” button above the editor and as option into the “Add Media” pop-up window.
\nBy pressing it you can search using Latin characters for an image, browse the returned images, preview an image and its license and adjust the image settings:
\n – use of thumbnail or original image,
\n – set the image link (if any).
\n – Insert the image into the post or as featured image.

Features

The Creative Commons WordPress plugin gives authors the ability to license content with a Creative Commons license (Choose a License). With this plugin you can:

License your blog (single WordPress install)
Display license for the site, posts and pages
Prevent license changes per site (all pages on a site must use the same license)
License your WordPress Network (WordPress Multisite install)
License some of your sites differently in your WordPress Network
Prevent license changes in your WordPress Network (all pages on all sites need to use the same license)
License all your content with the same license (license per author)
License some posts, pages, or images differently from your default license (per content license)
License posts and pages by simply including CC Gutenberg blocks for each license required (Gutenberg License Blocks)
Display license information with “One Click Attribution” for images

The default license for the site used by the plugin is the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license. This can be easily changed including attribution, depending on the permissions by a user with the role: superadmin, site admin or author.Selecting a license is straight forward. If you are not sure about what license to use, you can use the linked license chooser.

The selected license can be displayed as a widget or a footer or both at the same time. In Appearance > Widgets, the CC License widget can be dragged to any widget area like the side-bar and all other available areas. You can also include the license in footer. We recommend using the widget for better compatibility with your theme. You can use individual licenses in posts or pages using Gutenberg blocks.

\n","installation":"

Visit ‘Plugins > Add New’ and search for the plugin to install it. OR Upload the plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
From the Widgets menu, drag the License widget to the widget area in which you would like the license to appear. Otherwise, the license will appear in the WordPress footer area by default.
If you want to include licenses as Gutenberg blocks, simply add a new block, in the categories look for “Creative Commons Licenses” and add the required block.
