    Hello,

    I have my plugin set to automatically show the EXIF fields I want displayed for each photo when I create a post on my blog. One of these is location. Everything is working fine, and I’m pleased with what I have.

    BUT…I just realized that imagery I take in my home is displaying the location of my house, which I definitely don’t want. So, is there a way to remove the location field for specific posts. I have tried going into that specific post, and unchecking location in “Add EXIF to post” option menu on the sidebar, but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

    As I said, I’d like to remove it from just the posts that include images I’ve taken at locations I don’t want to advertise (like my house and other private areas), but I want to keep it with other images that it’s fine to share where specifically the image was taken.

    Thanks so much.

    Josh

    To remove Exif only from a specific post you have to uncheck the item BEFORE creating the article, if you uncheck it after it doesn’t work.

    @steve92 thanks for the tip. unfortunately it seems that with “location” checked or not, it still shows the location.

    Remove the image from the site and also check the GPS Extif item. Now reinsert the image. Basically I recreate the article.
    You can rehearse at a local site.

    It was simpler than that. I created a shortcode in my functions.php file and placed it in a text widget where the EXIF data is displayed. After trying what you said, I remembered that I did that and saw that I hard-coded that location appear. Once I removed that, it worked just fine.

    Thanks.
