Display of license in footer is poor about wp-plugin-creativecommons HOT 2 CLOSED

There is no fail safe way to include the license text in the theme's footer. The only way we can display content in the footer is either with the help of widget areas in the footer or with the help of the wp_footer hook.

Currently, the plugin by default includes the license text with the help of wp_footer hook. You can also include the text in any one of the widget areas instead.

In your case also, you can probably include the creative commons license text widget in one of the footer widget areas for better results.

We created our own Creative Commons license plugin due to the lack of activity here.

Examples:

If the license is on a single post page, you can add it at the end of the post with the the_content filter.

Furthermore, theme developers can override the look of the license output by overriding the default templates that are shipped with the plugin.

Agreed. The widget option is only applicable if it is a site license though.
