# [BUG] exif_read_data function not found

 * Since the update to 17.0.3 a bug is introduced.
    It seems that there is something
   going wrong when images are being loaded onto a map. It will display an error:
   sorry, exif_read_data function not found! check your hosting. Even while the 
   module is properly installed.
 * I’ve reverted back to 17.0.2 (and disabled the auto-update).
    That fixed the 
   issue.
 * Please look into this and resolve.
 * Worpress 5.6.2
    NextGen 3.7.0

 * I have the same issue. After updating wp-gpx-maps from version 1.7.02 to 1.7.03(
   WordPress 5.6.2, PHP 7.4.15) NextGEN Gallery pictures are no longer shown on 
   the map and for every single picture this error message is thrown:
 * `Sorry, exif_read_data function not found! check your hosting.`
 * Although the gallery has 18 pictures the above error message is thrown 19 times
   and it seems that the property_exists part of line 41 in wp-gpx-maps-utils-nggallery.
   php and the introduction of the try… catch loop are causing these errors:
 * `if ( is_callable( ‘exif_read_data’ ) && is_object($p) && property_exists($p,”
   imagePath”) ) {`
 * I *believe* the errors were introduced with [https://github.com/devfarm-it/wp-gpx-maps/commit/b86fbf4eca9fae545e876c0a300474511fa37cb1#diff-b188931986d3d535048a13589265970cf29e015d5a2cd7cadf2a50b59ad62e09](https://github.com/devfarm-it/wp-gpx-maps/commit/b86fbf4eca9fae545e876c0a300474511fa37cb1#diff-b188931986d3d535048a13589265970cf29e015d5a2cd7cadf2a50b59ad62e09)

 * I can confirm, that that the problem was introduced with version 1.7.03 of the
   wp-gpx-maps plugin. Rolling back to version 1.7.0.2 solved the problem. The rollback
   was performed using the [WP Rollback plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/)
