LIVIO Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hi, Everything is in the title. I can't figure out how to hide EXIF info of images published in Galleries. Many thanks for your help. Livio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP V0RT3X Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hi, thought that was a setting too but maybe that was just on another CMS. Anyway you could simply search and edit the templates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonya* Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 In AdminCP go to System -> Files and click on the button Image Settings. This would strip EXIF system-wide, not only in Gallery. WP V0RT3X, Marc and Dexter_X 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIO Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hi, In fact it's not working. EXIF info are still shown on the front-end. Even with this option enabled. I tried to clear the cache system. I tried to upload a new photo (to see if it works only for new photos uploads) But in both cases, EXIF info remains. Thank you in advance for your help, Livio.

Marc Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I can see this happening on your site and will need to get this escalated. I have created a ticket for you for this reason, and will get that sent to our developers to review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Mark H Posted October 19, 2021 Solution Share Posted October 19, 2021 As followup for anyone reading at a later date, upper-tier support clarified the matter: This is actually working as intended. This setting strips the EXIF from the actual image file itself. Gallery shows a range of EXIF data about the camera/device, but does not show a location unless specifically enabled by the person that uploaded the image.

Marc Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 To clarify on this, it strips EXIF data from the file itself, but only removes sensitive information. We have an internal discussion to clarify this, and potentially make changes to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghinton Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I know this is digging up a really old post, but is there a way to completely remove the EXIF data from showing. We have no legitimate need for our users to see this. Jelly Belly™ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teraßyte Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Unfortunately, there are only 2 options available at this time: You can manually remove the EXIF data from the template: gallery > front > view > metadata. Use a custom modification to hide/remove it without editing the template. Not editing the template means it can auto-update with future upgrades rather than getting stuck on your custom edit.

It doesn't always remove sensitive info, one of my members is a pro photographer and he messaged me to say that his full business info, address and location was on display I think it would be a better to be able to remove all exif data as an extra admin option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only strip certain fields. If there are more fields that your users use, feel free to post those and any other feedback in the Feedback forum.
