Hi @jasonbackus

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner.

It looks like your site is members-only. Can you link some of the specific images that aren’t working correctly here?

Hey @mikedunn,

I just tested on my site and the location shows for my iPhone photos:
https://photos.kristarella.blog/2018/10/grumpy-donald/

Do you have the option to show a map selected, and if so, do you have a Google API key entered?

Google requires the key for a map now, so if you don’t have one the location will not show.

Can you please share the link to the page where your EXIF is showing? Or a link to the image for me to check?

> Is it possible to change the code so that it shows like 35mm always?

Technically you can change the code to say whatever you want. I have a tutorial here about how to filter the output:

https://kristarella.blog/2012/07/filtering-exifography-output/

To hard-code the focal length you would use something like this in your theme’s functions.php or a plugin like Code Snippets:

function change_focal_length($content) {
	if (isset($content['focal_length']))
		$content['focal_length'] = '35mm';

	return $content;
}
add_filter('exifography_display_exif','change_focal_length');

It’s the lens. If you use a 50mm lens it will say 50mm.

Hey there,

That’s weird. How are you adding the exif on this page?

Do you have any image optimization plugins on the site?

I checked the image from the link you gave and noticed this in the image meta:
> Optimized by JPEGmini 3.14.12.71901706 0x2a49d

Did you optimize the image before uploading, or is that something WP Engine might have installed on their server?

If you used an image optimizing tool before uploading, you have to make sure the settings for the tool are set to not strip EXIF data.

Hey @turnerjeff

What method were you using to insert the EXIF? Automatic, shortcode, or function in theme file?

I looked at a post and the EXIF is showing:
https://intheviewfinder.com/9154/cascais-sunset/

Do you mean the EXIF is not showing for new posts?

Hey there,

To be more specific I would need to know what theme you’re using and where you want the exif to show for products.

Please send me the link to one of the new images and I can check the raw exif.

Is that the entire error message? It doesn’t really say anything that allows me to help. I can only suggest checking the PHP version on your server.

Hey Josh,

Sorry, I think I’ll have to write a custom validation for the date. I didn’t realise that it was legit to add \a\t and stuff like that to the timestamp.

My recommendation is to remove those aspects of your timestamp for now and I’ll write a fix into the next release.

I would advide you to make something which will deal even with ivalid values, for example, in this case, to check first if value is 0, and if it is, to do nothing (not to process further). Also, you should predict invalid values for all other fields, sometimes is even useful to predict “impossible” values.

That’s true. Since shutter speed is one that WordPress itself imports, I didn’t process it further than to check whether it was present and then show it in a prettier way, but I will make sure it’s not zero.

Hey there,

Those lines all deal with the shutter speed. And should only run when a shutter speed value is present, it seems like you have a value present, but it’s zero…

Do you know which image of yours might have been viewed at the time of these logs? If I can see the EXIF in the image I can figure out a better way to deal with this issue… Right now I can’t see why an image would have a shutter speed of 0 and yet still be present in the EXIF, unless an editing app corrupted the data somehow.

Hey Tom, it’s does look like the Google API key is the issue. I’m not sure why it’s a problem, perhaps the requirements are different in different countries. It is free to sign up for an API key though, so I suggest you do that.

Hey Tom,

Is the post/page live where this is happening? If so, can you switch it to the map and send me the link to take a look?

If not, do you know how to check the source code to see if the image URL is there and check for console errors?
