Here are some tips for adding image credits:

• Be sure to include the correct information in the image credit. This includes the author name, title of the image, and source URL.
• If you are not sure who the author of the image is, you can try searching for the image on Google Images.
• If you are using an image from a stock photo website, be sure to read the terms of use for that website. Some stock photo websites require you to include a link to the original source in your image credit.
• You can also use a WordPress plugin to help you add image credits. There are many plugins available, so be sure to choose one that fits your needs.

Adding image credits is a great way to give credit to the original creators of the images you use on your website. It is also a good way to show your readers that you value their work.
