The Creative Commons image search plugin for WordPress we created in Greek School Network is now available as a plugin in WordPress.org with the name “Easy search and use CC-licensed images for WP”
The plugin helps you search millions of free photos using the Creative Commons Catalog API then insert the original image into content or set as featured image very quickly.
The plugin’s features are:
- Works in WordPress editor and add a button above the content text area and into the “Add Media” pop-up window.
- Via a pop-up window, allows searching through millions of images using Creative Commons Catalog API power.
- Allows filtering by a provider
- Paginated results
- Quick insert original image or thumbnail with a link to the image URL
- Use image as a featured image for the blog post
- WPML compatible
- Multisite compatible
- Translation ready (it’s already translated in Greek)
- Tested up to WordPress 5.2 with Classic Editor plugin
As intended, we already use the plugin in https://blogs.sch.gr, which hosts more than 50.000 blogs. The plugin is available to all its blogs and users since middle May, who has been using it without any issues reported yet.
