 * Anyone know why wp_read_image_metadata() does not include an attribute for exif
   orientation?

 * Historically, I don’t think that WordPress has handled EXIF data very well but
   I recall seeing recently that orientation specifically should be addressed very
   soon.

 * Thanks esmi – is there a ticket or thread I can monitor re addressing orientation?

 * I can’t find any tickets specific to wp_read_image_metadata() and searching on“
   image orientation” is just throwing too wide a net. 🙁
 * You might want to have a look yourself at [https://core.trac.wordpress.org](https://core.trac.wordpress.org)
   and see if it needs a ticket.
