Hi David, at first, I would like to thank you so much for your incredible support. I hope I’ll be able to return you a favour somehow.

I’m posting a link to 2 images. They do have IPTC data, I was removing IPTC data before using exiftool since Lightroom exports IPTC in ASCII and only EXIF/XMP is encoded UTF-8 (I need to use Latin Extended fonts – I use Polish diacritical signs in my titles/descriptions). It would be nice not having to remove IPTC manually.

On the whole, what I want to do on my WordPress site is to upload images with correctly filled Title, ALT, Description, Keywords fields and then bulk-create blog posts or pages from them. My current setup is uploading images using MLA with the intention that MLA fills desired fields and then creating posts from all these images/attachments using plugin Post-a-pic (https://pl.wordpress.org/plugins/post-a-pic/ & source: https://bitbucket.org/starnutoditopo/post-a-pic/src). The biggest problem, I think, is that the Post-a-pic manages to create post from attachment before MLA changes default fields for that attachment. This way my post isn’t named after XMP Title which MLA imported, but it has attachment’s default title – in my case it’s often filename or EXIF’s Image Description. The advantage of this Post-a-pic plugin is that that it imports XMP keywords from images and adds them to WordPress Tags along with tagging the posts accordingly to every attachment. Is there a way to prioritise MLA so that the MLA acts first before post-maker plugin and posts are made with proper title? So this is my second and the biggest problem which I has discovered recently. If I could only propose a feature: since MLA is the biggest and most-advanced plugin for managing WordPress media library – maybe MLA itself could have ability to create bulk-post of any type? Of course, there are plugins out there implementing this feature, but most of them are just unusable in some ways, i.e.: none of these plugins have the ability to create posts from images uploaded before the plugin was activated (and only Post-a-pic imports the keywords…)! I think that many people would find it enormously useful for MLA having this feature. Thank you in advance for all your input!!!
