This error is caused by the fact you have an old php version on your server. You need minimum php 5.3 which has a FileInfo extension built in. Please change your php version or contact your hosting provider if you can’t do it manually.

Easy Watermark since version 0.4 already has a feature to scale watermark (see settings page!). There is also question in FAQ: “How the scaling of the watermark image works?”

Hello,

I must admit I never thought of it… Can u give me a reason, why you cant upload the watermark image?

Hi Surykat,

It’s not possible in the current plugin version. Maybe in the future… ??

Hello,

It’s possible that the images are watermarked, but what you see is a browser’s cache. Please try to refresh the page without cache (ctrl + f5). Also please note if the image status in Easy Watermark column in media library changed into ‘watermarked’ or it’s still ‘not watermarked’?

Hello,

Sorry I was not responding for such a long time. If you still need help with this, it would be best if you could give me an access to your site so I could take a look and find the problem. If you want, please contact me via e-mail.

Regards

Please try to open settings page (Settings > Easy Watermark), and just click “Save” button on each tab. It should help

Hello,

In the FAQ section the first question is: “Can I remove watermark after it was added?” (see https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/easy-watermark/faq/). You could read this before, so you would know it works that way.

This is also the common way all other watermark plugins work since it’s more efficient than adding watermark “in the fly”.

Also I never suspected anyone would have their images ONLY on the wordpress site, do you always remove your images after you upload it to wordpress?? This is weird…

Hi,

Unfortunatelly the Easy Watermark plugin will not work with NextGen Gallery (as any other watermark plugin won’t) and the probelm is in the NextGen plugin. The NextGen gallery doesn’t upload the images wordpress way, it creates it’s own upload directory and has it’s own functions for image upload (It should use the wordpress functions as many other gallery plugins do).
Sorry about that, if you want to use it with nextgen gallery please write to nextget developers to make their plugin fit better into wordpress.

Best Regards

Hello,

First case: there is no possibility that the plugin adds text watermark if it is set to image only. There is hovewer one thing I can think of. If you uploaded the image and it had text watermark applied, then you removed it and uploaded the same image with image watermark only, the browser displays the old previously loaded image because it has the same name and is cached in the browser. I had the problem while testing this plugin, cache cleaning or simply ctrl+f5 to force reload all resources helped. As I said, if you upload completely new image there is no possibility to apply text when it is set to apply image watermark only.

Second problem: phisically there is no possibility to apply watermark after the plugin was deactivated because no plugin code is executed (wordpress doesn’t load the plugin files at all). Also when it is removed, it cannot work since the code to add watermark is not there! Again, maybe you tried to upload some images which was previously uploaded and then deleted? Browser cache can make a lot of problems…

If my suggestion won’t solve your problem please try to write more about your environment (wordpress version, other plugins installed, etc.)

Hi greybird,

I wish I had time to make some tutorials and fine documentation for this plugin. The point is, I’m only a hobbist developer, I deal with something completely diferent everyday, and really have no time to do it.

Also this plugin started as a very small project (you can download and install the first version and see how it was simple). It grown up a bit, and by the time it was more important for me to add new features than to make a documentation since none ever asked for this. I tried to make everything self-explaining and I think it really is.

About the offset: it’s also self-exmplaining, but one can always ask.
It ‘moves’ the watermark e.g. when you set the watermark position to top-right corner, then set the ‘x’ offset to 100, the watermark will appear the 100px below the top edge of the image (and 0px from right).
(notice: if you set your watermark positon to the center of image, the offset still works, so your watermark would be applied ‘100px below the center’ so the central point of the watermark will be 100px below the central point of the picture. Please set offset to ‘0’ if you want to have the watermark really centered).

If you have any other questions/don’t know how to achieve some desired behavior of the plugin, please ask and I’ll respond as soon as possible.

Are you able to turn on debug mode in wordpress? It would print some errors for sure. Please turn on error reporting and copy the errors you’ll get here so I could help you.

Please turn on debug mode, then copy and paste here the errors you’ll get.

Hi,

Do you have Media->Easy Watermark link in menu? If so, what do you se when you click this link?
Please enable debug mode in wordpress if you can, and let me know if you have any errors then.

Hello,

The example you wrote about should work. Maybe you just need to use some textdomain? (It depends on which po/mo files you modified, if these were a template files, you should call __("%B %d, %Y", 'template-textdomain-name'))
