A new version of the Getty Images WordPress Plugin has been committed to the shared plugins repository. v3.0 is a simpler way to add captivating visual content to your WordPress site with improved usability and is intended to replace 2.4.4 or lower. It includes:
- New look and feel
- New landing page featuring Creative, Featured and Editorial images
- Ability to set a downloaded image as the Featured Image directly from the plugin (no more bouncing back and forth between the media library and the plugin to set your Featured Image)
- Larger images in the search results (plus the option to switch back to the detailed view if that’s what you prefer)
- Improved search filter panel
We encourage all VIPs using Getty Images WordPress Plugin to upgrade to this version by specifying the version parameter of wpcom_vip_load_plugin()
like so:
wpcom_vip_load_plugin( 'getty-images', 'plugins', '3.0' );
This also means that we are now deprecating v2.4 and earlier and intend to remove the plugin on October 10th (pushed back). We strongly encourage you to upgrade to v3.0 as some functionality in versions 2.4 and earlier will stop working.
As we approach the removal date for v2.4 and earlier, we’ll contact any VIPs still loading that version and will force update any themes that haven’t migrated by that date.
For VIP Go, you can take advantage of the new version by adding the latest reviewed version (v.3.0) to your plugins
folder. The plugin can be downloaded from WordPress.org).
If you have any questions please open a ticket where we’ll be happy to assist you transition to the newest version.
