[Plugin: Exifography] EXIF data does not display

For some reason the function isn’t automatically getting the image ID in that theme, but we can grab the featured image ID and insert it. Try this in your template file:

<?php
if (function_exists('exifography_display_exif')) {
	$id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);
	echo exifography_display_exif('all',$id);
}
?>

@avelino The code above is specifically using the ID of the image set as the WordPress featured image, so only use it if you are setting featured images, otherwise you can use the regular insertion options shown at http://www.kristarella.com/exifography/

If you do need to use the code above, make sure the code is inside the post loop in your theme. If it is and it’s not working you can replace ‘$post->ID’ with ‘get_the_ID()’ and see if that works better.

The EXIF wrapper actually is being output above the sharing stuff on your site, there’s just nothing inside it… I dunno if that’s from the automatic insert option on the settings page, a shortcode, or the template tag. If it is from using the code above, then maybe the issue is that you don’t have a featured image set, so it’s not getting the right image ID.

@avelino Automatic insert only works when the image is attached to the post. You can tell if the image is attached to the post by looking at the media library. There is a column that lists which post an image is attached to.

Duotone actually displays some EXIF information as well, but it also only gets the EXIF if the image is attached to the post. You can see in this screenshot duotone exif is on the left and Exifography is on the right.

The only other way to display EXIF without having the image attached to the post is to use the shortcode with the image ID in it.

In that case I can only imagine that there’s some adverse plugin interaction. Try disabling all plugins and see if the default theme EXIF shows up. Then enable just Exifography and see if it shows up. If it does then another plugin is stopping it and you can enable other plugins one by one to see which one it is.
