 * 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/](https://pl.wordpress.org/plugins/post-a-pic/)&
   source: [https://bitbucket.org/starnutoditopo/post-a-pic/src](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!!!

 * THANK YOU very much, it works!
 * My only concern is that when I insert template:([+xmp:Description+]) to map both
   Caption or Description field the way you advised me, I only get Caption field
   filled with the XMP’s Description attribute. What am I doing wrong? The Title
   field, ALT and so on using template:([+xmp:Title+]) gets mapped perfectly.
