    Is there a way to disable the Getty images? I do not like how they display in the post, and I’d prefer to avoid TOS issues by simply not using them. But my image suggestions are dominated by or even are entirely Getty images. Can I just get back to Wikimedia Commons or something?

  • Hey Laura,

    thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately there is no option to disable the Getty images but we are working on making the images to be distributed more evenly.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, take care and have a nice day,
    Petra

    I badly need this feature as well.

    I love the image selection from Getty. I don’t mind the Getty Images TOS, but when editing a post visually, the image just shows as a grey rectangle. It shows up okay in the preview, but there is no way to do the little things like wrap text to one side, properly change size of the image, etc. Zementa is a great tool, but really is a bit broken with regards to how Getty Images are implemented.

    The problem of course only shows up in post editor. But my site is: https://wall.dwpenner.ca/

    Hey,

    thanks for reaching out and sorry for this really late reply!
    The reason we made the Getty images showing up as a gray rectangle is to improve performance and unfortunately for the time being this will not be changed, sorry.

    Once again, sorry for the inconvenience, take care and have an amazing day,
    Petra

    Hi Petra,
    I can understand the purpose of the grey rectangles. I can work around that doing previews. The other problem I am having, now that I am trying to include Getty images now, is that while you can alter the size of the image with the “handles” after clicking on the grey rectangle, I can’t see any way to control text flow around an image. Currently I want to flow the text to the right of an image I am wanting to add into my post. I am very used to using text wrap in things I post and publish. Not being able to do that with Getty images is a pain.
    Thanks!
    Darrell

    Hey Darrell,

    thanks for getting back to me! I can completely understand how you feel – well…another user found a workaround by making changes in the HTML code (via text mode) but I should mention that we don’t support this.

    Hope this helps, take care and have a lovely day,
    Petra
