Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Creative Commons version 2022.09.1 as active, updated 4y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.0.
Overview
About this plugin
The Creative Commons WordPress plugin gives authors the ability to license content with a Creative Commons license ( Choose a License ). With this plugin you can:
License your blog (single WordPress install)
Display license for the site, posts and pages
Prevent license changes per site (all pages on a site must use the same license)
License your WordPress Network (WordPress Multisite install)
License some of your sites differently in your WordPress Network
Prevent license changes in your WordPress Network (all pages on all sites need to use the same license)
License all your content with the same license (license per author)

License posts and pages by simply including CC Gutenberg blocks for each license required (Gutenberg License Blocks)
Display license information with “One Click Attribution” for images
The default license for the site used by the plugin is the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license. Selecting a license is straight forward. If you are not sure about what license to use, you can use the linked license chooser.
The selected license can be displayed as a widget or a footer or both at the same time. In Appearance > Widgets, the CC License widget can be dragged to any widget area like the side-bar and all other available areas. You can also include the license in footer.
We recommend using the widget for better compatibility with your theme. You can use individual licenses in posts or pages using Gutenberg blocks.
