    Running into an issue with the Unsplash API where I’m getting an error on every load of a page if editing:

    The API rate limit has been exceeded for this image provider. Please add a new API key or try again later.

    It then gives me an opportunity to put in an Unsplash API key. I’ve never seen this before today using this plugin and have it on all sites I’m using it on.

    @wmacmill Thanks for the heads up.
    Looks like Unsplash put a 5000 limit on my API key – It was previously unlimited or at least much higher like 25k+.

    I’ll need to update the plugin and allow users to enter their own key.

    In the meantime you’ll have to switch the Default Provider (under Settings) or deactivate the plugin.

    @wmacmill Actually it’s back up again. It might be 5k requests an hour. and it’s been refreshed.

    Got it ok good to know because I was searching around trying to figure out if I can put in my own API key and wasn’t sure where to do that! Thanks for looking into this.
