Installation
Simply unzip the plugin into your /wp-content/plugins folder. This should have created a folder called cw_exif. Then goto the plugins page in the admin console of WP and activate the plugin. To remove, deactivate the plugin, and delete the folder.
Version 0.1
- “Insert Exif” button in media admin panel
- Replaces image title with WP exif info
Future Plans
- More exif data (using external library), not just the WP captured data
- Deal with lack of exif data better
- More display options (not just the title tag)
- Admin control over what exif data shows
- Integrate with thickbox to display image/exif in css “popup”


[...] Christopher Ward is a very nice man. A very nice man indeed. When Matt Brandon and I were grumbling about having to type EXIF data into WordPress, Chris leapt in like the helpful, geeky Canadian that he his and offered a solution. [...]
Thank you Chris. This is just what Gavin and I where looking for. As Gavin said, you are a very nice man. Cheers – Matt
Well Chris, I have to add my thanks and thumb up for your plugin! I made a test on my blog, and it works just fine!
And, hrmm… maybe it’s already planned, but would you also add the lens used? (for example: 50/1.4 or 16-35/2.8 ?)
Thanks!
Right now I am using the data that Wordpress pulls off, and that is not available. I plan to in the future use a library that can read more information. If this is available, I will provide access to it. Glad to hear it is working for you.
Oh great! Thanks!
Hi Chris, This is great stuff and shall be implementing it on my site.
One thing that might help you with the extra exif data is checking out what the ‘exif & zoom’ plugin has provided. I like the data that this provides but I don’t like the way it displays the image so it’s been putting me off using it.
He comments within his code certain sites for each specific camera maker which assists him in creating the tags – http://www.burren.cx/david/canon.html for canon etc. (I’m not suggesting copying his code – but looking at the public sources he’s used to determine the values)
Cheers
Thanks Carl. I was looking at using the exif code that zenphoto.org is using, but I will definately look at that site. Now I need some more time!!!
[...] and exposure data for these files is gone, well I got a bit tired of typing it in so I found this handy little plug in that puts it in for you. Just hold your mouse over the photo and presto chango, up pops all the [...]
Am I missing something? I don’t see the plugin to download?
Sorry Jeremy. I had forgotten to re-enable a plugin after the last wordpress upgrade. Thanks for letting me know. Should be there now.
Great. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Thank you muchly! Incidentally I had to manually upload it manually as I got a header error uploading it through Wordpress 2.9.2 (I think because the folder was named cw-exif 0.1 and wordpress didn’t like it.)
Not sure how you were trying to upload through Wordpress. I have been doing it manually.
Chris, your plugin is so amazing as so simple! You’re genius! Thank you so much.
