## Àpèjúwe

Photoledger makes sure every image uploaded to your WordPress Media Library has 
a paper trail: where it came from, when it was downloaded, and proof that you were
licensed to use it. If a photographer, stock agency, or competitor ever comes after
you over an image, you have the answer in seconds instead of digging through old
emails and downloads folders.

**How it works**

The moment someone uploads an image through Media  Add New, theyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’
re asked for:

 * **Source of Image** — where it came from (Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, a client,
   etc.)
 * **Download Date**
 * At least one of: **Account ID**, **License Key**, or an uploaded **License Document**(
   the actual invoice/receipt/license PDF)

An image cannot be uploaded without this information — the plugin blocks uploads
from the classic uploader, the block editor, and the REST API alike, so thereÌtumọ̀
Yorùbá: ’s no way around it.

**Optional “Advanced License Details”**

For anyone who wants to track more, an optional panel captures:

 * License Type (Royalty-Free, Rights-Managed, Editorial Use Only, Creative Commons,
   Extended License, Other)
 * License Expiry Date (with an optional time, for licenses that expire at a specific
   moment)
 * Attribution Text
 * Photographer / Artist
 * Cost Paid
 * Invoice / Purchase Number
 * Internal Notes

**Batch uploads**

Dropping several images at once into the Media Library? One shared form covers the
whole batch — fill it once, and every image in that drop gets the same license details.

**Fixing missing details later**

Every imageÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s Edit screen has an editable “License Details” panel
in the sidebar — nothing is locked in at upload time. Missing a License Key you 
found later? Add it any time, including uploading or replacing the proof document.

**See everything at a glance**

 * A **License** column and filter dropdown right in the Media Library list, showing
   Licensed / Missing / Expiring / Expired for every image.
 * A dedicated **License Manager** dashboard with stat cards, a searchable and filterable
   table (by status, source, or download date), and one-click CSV export (formatted
   so Excel doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t mangle long ID numbers or dates).
 * Automatic **daily email reminders** for anything expiring soon or already expired.

**Settings**

 * Choose which of the Advanced fields are required.
 * Provide a fixed list of allowed “Source of Image” values, or leave it free text.
 * Set the maximum license-document file size and allowed file types.
 * Configure the expiry reminder email address and how many days ahead to warn.
 * Choose whether License Expiry Date captures a date only, or a date and time.

License documents (the actual proof files) are kept out of the normal Media Library
grid and picker — theyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re stored as attachments linked to the image
they belong to, not shown as if they were photos themselves.

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

 1. Upload the `photoledger` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP directly
    via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. A new **License Manager** menu appears in the WordPress admin sidebar.
 4. Visit **License Manager  Settings** to:
 5.  * choose which extra fields (if any) should be required,
     * optionally set a fixed list of image sources,
     * set the maximum license-document size and allowed file types,
     * turn on expiry reminder emails and set the email address / warning window.
 6. From now on, every image uploaded through **Media  Add New** (or the Media LibraryÌtumọ̀
    Yorùbá: ’s “Add Media File”) will ask for its license details before the upload
    completes.

No database setup or configuration is required beyond Settings — the plugin works
immediately after activation.

## FAQ

### Can someone upload an image without filling in the license details?

No. Uploads are blocked at the server level for the classic uploader, the block 
editorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s image blocks, and the REST API — not just hidden in the 
UI. ThereÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s no route around it for a logged-in user with upload permission.

### What happens to images that were uploaded before I installed the plugin?

TheyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re shown as “Missing” in the License column and dashboard until
you open each oneÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s Edit screen and fill in its details — the plugin
doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t retroactively invent data for images it didnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’
t see uploaded.

### Where are the license documents (PDFs/receipts) stored?

As regular WordPress attachments, linked to the image they belong to, but hidden
from the normal Media Library grid and the “Insert Media” picker so they never get
mistaken for a photo.

### Does this work with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)?

If ACF is active and has field groups using the same field names, the pluginÌtumọ̀
Yorùbá: ’s own values take priority and ACFÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s editing controls for
those fields are made read-only on the attachment edit screen, to avoid two different
places trying to control the same value.

### Can I require the Advanced fields, or is everything except the basics optional?

Any of the Advanced fields can be marked required from License Manager  Settings.
The four core fields (Source, Download Date, and one of Account ID/License Key/Document)
are always required — thatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s the whole point of the plugin.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release (previously distributed under the name “Image Copyright Guard”
   prior to its first public listing). All internal functions, classes, options,
   meta keys, nonces, and script/style handles use the `ektailr_` / `EKTAILR_` prefix;
   front-end assets are loaded via the standard WordPress `wp_enqueue_script()` /`
   wp_enqueue_style()` APIs rather than printed inline.
