    Hi,

    In my photo there are keywords as well as categories. Since some plugins ignore the categories, I would like to add the categories to the keywords (keyword (new) =keyword (old) + category).

    Can someone please help me to set up the rule.

    At the moment I have IPTC value at keyword “2#025: Keywords”. EXIF template/value is empty.

    Thanks

    Erik

    Good to hear from you again. This looks like an extension of your earlier topic:

    How to import keyword & category to Media Lib. Ass?

    You can use a Content Template to combine values from multiple sources into a single result. I need more details to know where your values are stored.

    You wrote “I would like to add the categories“. Where are the categories stored? Do you mean the WordPress “Categories” taxonomy or the IPTC “Category” and “Supplemental Category” fields?

    The IPTC “Category” (limited to three characters) and “Supplemental Category” (32 characters) fields are “Deprecated” and not very useful.

    Any additional details will help me give you a precise answer. Thank you.

    Hi David, sorry for the late response but I had to do some research first. I found out that my image management tool does not write the IPTC categories into the files, or writes them incompletely. I got the same info from the developer as you did, that the categories are about to expire. I will therefore look for another solution. Consider my problem solved 🙂

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it or start a new topic if there’s anything I can do to help you get the most out of MLA for your work. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
