WordPress extracts image meta data from a file when it is uploaded and adds it to the newly created Attachment Post in the database. This Plugin extracts and saves a much wider range of EXIF and IPTC information than WordPress Core usually stores.<\/p>\n\n

This Plugin currently supports JPEG and WEBP files.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin does not output any data on the website or in the WordPress Admin area. If this is required, a developer will need to amend the Theme or Plugin which generates the HTML for the website.<\/p>\n\n

The Plugin does not add any information to Attachment Posts which have already been created. (The Plugin does, however, update the stored meta data when a new image is uploaded to an existing Attachment Post; for example when the Enable Media Replace Plugin<\/a> is used.)<\/p>\n\n

The information is not visible in the Media editor, but is available to developers when using the wp_get_attachment_metadata<\/code> function. The data is stored in a subset of the array returned by this function, within the array key shp_additional_metadata<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n

e.g.<\/p>\n\n

<?php\n$attachment_metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata($attachment_id);\nvar_dump($attachment_metadata['shp_additional_metadata']);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Hooks<\/h3>\n\n
The data array can be manipulated using add_filter<\/code> once it has been retrieved from the file, using the following hooks.<\/p>\n\n
All additional data<\/h4>\n\n
All IPTC data which is added by the plugin.<\/p>\n\n
<?php\napply_filters('shp_additional_metadata\/iptc', $exif['iptc'], $source_path);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
IPTC data<\/h4>\n\n
All data which is added by the plugin.<\/p>\n\n
<?php\napply_filters('shp_additional_metadata\/all_exif', $exif, $source_path);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Install from the WordPress Plugin Directory or upload the shp_additional_metadata<\/code> folder to the installation's plugins directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
