Remove from the excerpt

Thank you for your feedback about our plugin. This text is included by default with embedded images to link to more information about the image.

If you want to use an image without this linked text, you’ll need to license the image. To do so, go to https://secure.gettyimages.com/register?autoRedirect=true&returnUrl=%2F to register for a Getty Images account. After you have an account, you can click “Go to customer login” from within WordPress and license the image.

Thanks again for your feedback. Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Thanks for your response. So it’s impossible to remove the text from homepage? For example, we have featured image set in a post which is displayed on the homepage but inside the post we have set featured image not to be shown and have an embedded image from Getty Images. We are fine with the it is displayed etc. But on the homepage, where image from Getty Images is not displayed we still have “View image | gettyimages.com” in the excerpt before the actual text of the post. Since the rest of the embedded code (image url etc.) is not displayed, we thought that this text could possibly be excluded as well.

Yes, you can’t remove the text unless you pay to license the image. Embed URLs cannot be copied into the Featured Image area, so I’d be curious how you configured the featured image using one of the embed images on your homepage.

You can certainly embed images within a post as expected. I wonder if the problem stems from trying to embed an image in the Featured Image area.

I hope that explanation is helpful.

Thanks,
Cara

Hi Talkbasket,

I’m going to mark this image as resolved since the text “View images | gettyimages.com” is included for all embed images. For more information, see the Embed FAQ at https://www.gettyimages.com/HelpCenter#embed.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your responses but I’m still not quite sure we understand this question the same way. Here’s what we do:

We set featured image in article because we want it to be displayed on the frontpage. As an example, let’s say we set a team logo as a featured image.

But we don’t want this image to be displayed inside the post so we change featured image setting to ‘Hide’. As a result featured image is displayed on the frontpage but it does not appear in the post.

Then on the first line of the post’s text we add an image from Getty Images. We do not want this image to appear on the frontpage as a featured image and we are not trying to embed it there or to remove any copyright text etc. Image from Getty Images does not appear on the frontpage which is okay yet the text “View image | gettyimages.com” still does.

Here’s an example – if you go to https://www.talkbasket.net inside the middle column you will find section called ‘Daily Gossip’. The excerpt on the homepage has a featured image (New York Knicks logo, not image from Getty Images) yet the text still starts with “View image | gettyimages.com”. Image from Getty Image only appears inside the post https://www.talkbasket.net/13795-daily-gossip-monday-23215.html

To put it short:

1. Featured image on the frontpage.
2. Image from Getty Images inside the post.

And since the image from Getty Images does not appear on the frontpage, meaning that the system excludes the code, why does the aforementioned text still appears. That’s the issue. If it’s impossible to fix then we’ll have to live with it.

P.S. Since all frontpage articles are displayed through widgets that came with the theme, could that be the cause? Have other users encountered similar issue?

Thanks for the links and further detail, talkbasket. This is very helpful so we can see the layers of text emerge from the post to the front page.

We haven’t encountered this issue before, but I’d like to have our engineers investigate. If you can share further details about your setup, that would help us drill down further:

• WP version
• Plugin version
• Theme name
• Browser name and version
• OS name and version

We’d love to get to root cause of this issue.

Thanks for your reply. Here’s our details.

WP version: 4.1.1 (we had this issue on 4.1 as well)
Plugin version: 2.3.0 (Getty Images)
Theme name: Hot Topix (https://themeforest.net/item/hot-topix-modern-wordpress-magazine-theme/4641602)
Browser name and version: Chrome 40.0.2214.115 m
OS name and version: Windows 8, Windows XP, Ubuntu 14

The widgets that display posts on the front page came with the theme. We are having the same issue with all of them. The one in the example above is called ‘Hot Topix: Category Light Widget’. The issue comes up on category pages as well even though they are not generated by widgets.

Thanks. I’ll kick off deeper investigation on our side and keep you posted.
