Questions the author answers
Can I remove watermark after it was added?
Yes, since version 0.6.0 there is an option to “remove” watermark by restoring the original image. Backup feature is enabled by default, you can disable it on the “Tools > Easy Watermark” screen. Note: this will use more space on your server due to the fact that the images will be stored twice.
Only the fullsize image is stored in backup, thumbnails are regenerated during the restoring process.
How can I restore original images after the plugin was uninstalled?
The plugin doesn’t restore your images on deactivation/removal. Please consider to install the plugin again and restore your images before uninstalling.
If you don’t have a possibility to do this, you can manually restore your images. Just go to wp-content/ew-backup in your wordpress main directory. You will see there are folders in the same order like in uploads, images are stored as /year/month/imagename.jpg|png.
How can I add watermark to pictures that were uploaded before the plugin was installed?
You can go to “Tools > Easy Watermark > Tools” screen and use bulk action options.
How can I adjust watermark image position?
Watermark position can be adjusted vertically and horizontally by selecting alignment (left, center, right, top, middle, bottom). You can also define horizontal and vertical offset.
Can I add both, text and image watermark at once?
Yes, there is a posibility to add only image, only text or both.
How Can I adjust text watermark?
You can choose text font from the list of ten fonts included to this plugin. You can also set font size, color, angle and opacity. Position of text watermark can be adjusted exactly like the image watermark position.

- [Fixed] Watermark preview url fixed to work with non-standard WordPress installations
