Bulk Edit mapping to WP Media fields

Thank you for your question and for the details on the trouble you are having.

The MLA Bulk Edit and Quick Edit features are a core part of the plugin. There are no Settings/Media Library Assistant options that you need to change in order to use them. You wrote “I did try to export my settings for this query, but could find the output file location.” For future reference, you can find the settings export files in your site’s /wp-content/mla-backup/ folder.

You wrote “When I do mla bulk edits on jpeg images, all the fields are empty“. I want to make sure I understand what you are experiencing. When you write “bulk edit” I understand that to mean you are going to the Media/Assistant admin submenu screen, selecting one or more items, selecting “Edit” from the Bulk Actions dropdown and clicking “Apply”. You enter some text in the “Caption”, “Description” and “ALT Text” fields and then click “Update” in the lower right corner of the area. Is that right?

When you click “Update” do you see the Bulk Edit Waiting/In-process/Complete text boxes? In the Complete text box do the items show “unchanged” or “success”? Do you see the Waiting/Complete/Unchanged/Succeeded/Failed” counts at the bottom of the area? What do they show?

You wrote “If I edit an image Desc, Alt & Caption fields in MLA adding data …” Do you mean the Bulk Edit area? Have you tried the “Quick Edit” rollover action on one or more items? Does that work?

Have you visited the Settings/Media Library Assistant IPTC/EXIF tab and made any changes there? If so, what changes have you made. It is possible (but not likely) that a change there might contribute to your problem.

I did a quick test on my own system and both the Bulk Edit and Quick edit functions are working there. Any further details you can provide will be very helpful.
