I’m having the same rotation issue too.
Uploaded images to WP. Edit originals in library, rotate & save.
Looks correctly oriented in edit, but in preview and published posts the image reverts back to it’s old (incorrect) orientation.
I’m using the Basil theme by Boxy Studios. I’ve contacted them but as yet have not heard back.
Obviously we can’t ‘go live’ until this is fixed.
I’m using WP 4.3.1
Any ideas?
