## Description

Simple Attribution is just that… simple! It adds a meta box on post pages
 which
allows bloggers to specify the name and URL of the site a sourced article originated
from. Assuming both these fields are filled out, it appends the attribution link
to the bottom of the post.

Simple Attribution allows links to be generated in both text and image form,
 allowing
you to customize it to the feel of your website. Natively, it includes 5 icons which
can be used to identify the attribution link instead of the standard caption (which
is editable through the options panel), and custom icons can be used as well.

Don’t like where we put the link? You have the option to disable
 auto-attribution
and put the link wherever you want it to display simply by adding <?php echo display_attribution();?
> to your template!

### 󠀁[Didn’t work on standard wordpress 5.8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/didnt-work-on-standard-wordpress-5-8/)󠁿

 [Mohammad Etemaddar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sefid-par/) Октябрь 8, 2021

I used it on newly installed wordpress 5.8 with default theme. The problem is that,
it didn’t save the attribution title and url and also didn’t show the links at bottom
of the post. I wish it work on new version. If it has git page, I can resolve it.
Thanks.

Great little plugin. Can make it look however you want. Easy to fit in with theme.
Would love to see the addition of rel=”nofollow” option. I have added this via the
simple_attribution_attribution filter, but for non coders this would be great addition.

Works great for a quick and easy way to add attribution into posts without having
to hand-edit and hand-place everything. Easily stylable too.
