How to auto-fill TITLE, CAPTION, ALT and DESCRIPTION fields when I upload media

Thanks for your question and for the link to your screenshot.

You can use MLA’s IPTC/EXIF mapping rules to automatically fill the WordPress standard fields as items are added to the Media Library. You can find more information in the “IPTC & EXIF Processing Options” section of the Settings/Media Library Assistant Documentation tab.

For your particular examples you can enter a Content Template in the “EXIF/Template Value” text box. The “EXIF/Template mapping with Content Templates” section of the Documentation has details and examples. There is no specific support for your “(Incrementing number from 0 to 9999 for every new image upload)” but you could use the “post_id, ID” data source to get something similar. For example, in the text box for the Caption field you could enter something like:

template:default demo text [+ID+]

Which would put something like “default demo text 1234” in the Caption field. The examples in the Documentation should give you a good idea of what’s possible.

I hope that gets you started on composing automatic values for the standard fields of uploaded items. I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have problems or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

David Lingren, thank you for your reply. I have updated my settings, but that didn’t help and when I upload new media file those fields are still blank. Maybe I need to tick some other box in the settings to make it work? I’m lost. Can you give me exact settings to make it work? I would really appreciate it.
