Works well, but strips PNG transparency data

By shtrom on May 16, 2024

The plugin does what it says on the tin, and that's good. It may however be doing it too well: it also strips the transparency channel of PNGs.

I just disabled it to upload a bunch of PNGs, and that was a functional one-off workaround. This may get in the way when you have more of a distribution of transparent PNGs and EXIF-ladden JPGs to upload regularly, though.

Broke my client's website on version 6.4.2, don't download if you're using this version

Still works great

Been searching on how to remove the guff from Olympus photos and i came up against a patch to WP that had never been implemented (i think) and a lot of comments surrounding it. Will post the link in there to here. Nice work. Hopefully it never needs updating. You have to upload your photos through a page/post or as i discovered it also works when adding a product (woocommerce) too. You can bulk upload everything through these methods and it strips the exif data. Thank you so much!

Works great!
