I agree, it's the same behavior I see in 3.4.8.

They definitely should have an option to rotate pictures automatically, just as in Gallery.  It's truly a pain for a site owner or user to have to inspect, download, rotate, and re-upload pictures.

      Verified with half a dozen of my members on various devices.  They get sideways pictures on photos that appear normal on their devices and even on their computer.

      The pics we have been provided are rotating fine locally in testing. Please make sure the PHP EXIF extension is installed on your server.

    Yes, it's certainly is!

    Any chance this will be fixed?

    I have a whole mess of sideways iPhone images on my site. Not sure this is easy to fix. Exif data may define which orientation should be used but I am not sure how it works. Could be a great mod.

    Can someone provide a couple of examples? We've had trouble pinning this down as the ones the devs have looked at have had goofy exif data. 

    Thanks.

    Great to hear from Lindy and that their devs are looking at it (likely for 4.x+).

    Does that extension also work for 3.4.x+ or is this only something that 4.x+ accommodates and uses at?

    It's 4.x specific.

    OK thanks!

    I just had PHP EXIF extension installed on my server and pics still seem to be posted sideways.

    If you're having issues with iPhone photos being uploaded and coming out sideways/upside down, it's not actually IPS fault, it may be the user.....

    The problem is that when some hold the camera with the volume buttons pointing up, your photos will be upside down. You can prevent any rotation issues in the future by taking your iPhone photos and videos with the volume buttons pointing down.

    It's a stupid iOS thing, but that's why I only take photos pressing the camera button and not the volume buttons. Get someone to try it on your site just in case this is the issue.

    Looks like it will require a code change to the core IPS script.  XenForo suffered the same issues until they changed the code in their 1.3 version to fix this issue.

    We do check for EXIF orientation but perhaps there are scenarios it is not working. I will put in a note for us to check on this again :)

    @PacmanDo Can you please reply to our bug report with more information? 

     

    Or anyone else that has working examples :)

    I really need the image unmodified - once it is uploaded to the software, it no longer becomes usable as a test case as it's been altered.

    I believe I had put some in this ticket.

    If you are having any trouble please submit a ticket with specific examples and we would be happy to look at it.

    I did give specific examples right here above your post. See links.

    We will require a ticket so that we can check the PHP configuration. We have not yet had any ticket submitted where this was not working for any reason other than the EXIF extension was not properly configured or the image itself had been manipulated by some other application that removed the orientation data.
