 * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exif_read_data-function-not-found/)
 * I’m using WP 5.6.1 and NextGen 3.7.0
    Also I am using WP-GPX-Maps 1.7.03 All 
   are up-to-date.
 * The website is showing the following error on all my pages where I use NextGen
   to display images on a map: sorry, exif_read_data function not found! check your
   hosting.
    The hosting provider checked and the php74-php-exit component is installed(
   7.4.11-2.el7.cloudlinxu.2)
 * I already cleared cache in NextGen, WP-GPX and in W3 Total Cache.
    Nothing helps.
   Any thoughts?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexif_read_data-function-not-found%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Arnoud, just fellow user here, not formal support, but you *could* check to
   see if ExIf is even being read…one of the layouts (Image browser I think?), shows
   the ExIf Data under an image. It would let you see if it is at least showing 
   you that and thus EXIF is working, or if it isn’t able to read it at all. I had
   hoped to pull the ExIf data for one of my layouts but alas, it doesn’t give enough
   data in the layout and I don’t want to mess around with the layout that much.

 * Hi [@derice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/derice/),
 * Sorry for the delays. We hope that you wouldn’t mind reaching the hosting support
   and ask them to enable EXIF extension within your domain’s php.ini.
 * Hope this helps

 * [@mihaiimagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihaiimagely/) thanks, but
   that’s not the issue.
    Seems that the issue was/is related to another plugin (
   WP GPX Maps): [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-exif_read_data-function-not-found/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-exif_read_data-function-not-found/)
   I downgraded to the previous version of that plugin and that solved the issue.
