Describe the bug
Sometimes the copyright field is not showing on featured images.

I think it might be something to do with when an image with the wrong aspect ratio is used.

If someone uses a featured image that is not the right aspect ratio, i.e. a deeper image rather than a short and wide banner image, the copyright field does not show.

In some cases I've managed to fix it by simply replacing the image with a correctly cropped version. (e.g. on the staging site and the security lab site). But on .org that hasn't worked: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/11/thailand-dismissal-of-landmark-case-a-critical-and-alarming-setback-in-fight-against-unlawful-use-of-spyware/

To Reproduce

  1. add new post
  2. add a featured image that is not cropped into a banner shape.
  3. add copyright credit in the description field in the media library when setting featured image in the post.
  4. publish and see no copyright credit

Expected behaviour
the copyright credit should always show, when it has been entered into the description field in the media library.

Actual behaviour
sometimes it doesn't show.
