I installed the plugin to use embedded mode however when I go to search for images I get no results, I even tried updating WordPress to the latest version 5.8.2

We had high hopes for this plugin but sadly it seems unmaintained and riddled with bugs. Due to some invalid code, we couldn’t even properly authenticate without editing the plugin code (pro-tip: textarea is not a self-closing tag). Then once authenticated, the plugin wouldn’t download images — it just froze after pressing the button. It would be great to see Getty reinvest in this plugin and modernize it. Until they do, you’re on your own.

Not only did the plug-in not work (nothing happened when clicking Getty next to Media), but it also stopped Media from working. I had to delete the app before I could get to Media to select any of my own images. I did manage to insert the Getty image I wanted by manually inserting the embed code into the post text view.
