I use ligthroom and use it to organize the photos and clasify them, so I do not want to do it again in wordpress media library.
The idea is to upload them via ftp to my server and be able to insert them in posts automatically, with all the info.
I read int wordpress help that PhotoQ was able to do this, import photos to media library automatically.
But it seems that PhotoQ is not available any more (it does not show in the plugins listing).
Which other plugin is able of doing this?
Thank you
]]>Any custom code ideas or ways to hack this together with multiple modules?
Background:
I used to use the PhotoQ plugin for my photoblog, and the author had started to develop this feature (it doesn’t work properly yet – you have to regenerate ALL thumbnails each time you want to generate tags for a new post!).
Unfortunately, PhotoQ has been abandoned (I contacted the author and he confirmed that he is no longer working on it) so I am migrating to the Yet Another PhotoBlog (YAPB) plugin, which doesn’t have this feature.
]]>Is there any known way to convert my posts (over 2700+) from PhotoQ to YAPB?
I realize there may not be, but if I can do this in an automated fashion that would be great.
Otherwise I may just need to re-upload everything.
Thanks

]]>If the plugin is discontinued, is there a similar alternative plugin to handle a lot of photos?
]]>In a nutshell, every time I upload a picture, it loses most of its EXIF data. I’ve tried it using the built-in Media system, several plugins (YAPB, PhotoQ), email-to-post – it doesn’t seem to matter how it ends up in the database, as soon as it’s in there the EXIF is gone. There are dozens of plugins that are designed specifically to pull the GPS EXIF data from uploaded images, so there HAS to be a way to get my pictures up without sacrificing the EXIF data, but I’m at a total loss as to how.
Some things I’ve already tried:
-I can see the EXIF just fine in Preview and on images uploaded via FTP to non-Wordpress sites, including on the same server. So the EXIF is definitely part of the image when it’s selected in the upload dialogues.
-It doesn’t seem to matter how the images are added to the WordPress database (plugins, media uploader), once they’re in there the EXIF is gone.
-I have multiple WordPress installations running on different sites and they’re all doing this. They have no plugins or modifications in common except the Atahualpa base theme.
-It’s not a thumbnail or WordPress-native image editor issue; unmodified full-size images accessed via their URL in the file structure, thumbnails and generated resizes all have the same problem.
I’m pretty sure I just have something set up wrong, but I just can’t find it and it’s driving me crazy. All I want is for WordPress to stop discarding the metadata on my uploaded photos. Please help.
]]>Is there any way to make my older posts to be compatible with PhotoQ?
I published a new post using the new plug in and it works, but the older posts pictures are gone. This is my photo blog: richardpastenes.com/blog
Any help will be appreciated.
]]>I have developed a photoblog site to automatically receive and display webcam images using WordPress 2.9.2, the PhotoQ 1.8.3 plugin, and the iQ2 1.2.3 theme. Everything is beautiful except for uploading images from the directory on the server where the camera sends the them.
The issue is this: PhotoQ’s option to batch upload images from a directory on the server fails. Although set up to be triggered by a cron job, the upload fails even when initiated manually.
The manual process goes like this: On the PhotoQ post page, I choose Select Photos, then from the selection page choose Import from FTP Directory. I get a list of files in the FTP directory and fields to enter common info. I add info, check off the images I want, and press Import/Enter Info. At this point, if the single post process is an indicator, it should show the images being processed. Instead, it goes straight to the Save Batch Info page, and when that button is pressed, back to the PhotoQ post page saying that the queue is still empty – and in fact no files have been uploaded. There are no error messages anywhere in this process.
Some context details:
1) uploading manually one at a time using the single post option and selecting the image through the File Open dialog works fine.
2) the option to allow uploading from a directory has been enabled.
3) batch uploading has been switched both on and off: same result either way;
4) memory is not a problem – the files are small (640×480, 60-70k) and the number of files makes no difference.
5) the FTP upload directory has been correctly configured (PhotoQ can see the files);
6) the 4/12/10 patched version of PhotoQ.php has been installed;
7) the issue is exactly the same in my customized almost-ready-for-prime-time (except for this issue) hosted version of my site and in a minimal, stripped-down local version, which should eliminate both my theme customizations and my host as culprits. Host is Linux-based, local is Windows-based.
I’ve run out of ideas to check. Any direction would be very much appreciated.
Failing that, can anyone recommend another combination of add-ons that will support cron-triggered (or even visit-triggered) automatic posting and display of images from an ftp directory? (I also need auto thumbnails and archive management)
]]>I run a website called ‘fotolusion’ at https://www.fotolusion.com/ .
With the intent of formatting my server… I backed up my MySQL database. After I format the server, all I want to restore are the posts and comments (mine is a photoblog, I use PhotoQ too). I can manage installing the themes again… and the widgets. So, is backing up the MySQL database enough for restoring the posts and comments?
]]>I’m using WordPress 2.9 (maintained by my web host)
The theme I’m currently using is Piano Black: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/piano-black
I’m using PhotoQ to upload photos so I can post exif data (when available): https://www.whoismanu.com/photoq-wordpress-photoblog-plugin/
The problem I have is that this theme does not link to bigger images of my photos. How can I add that? New to WordPress but have some experience with webdev so hopefully can figure this out.
Thanks,

Over the past few weeks I’ve been setting up a CMS with wordpress and its fantastic.
I am looking for a photo album or slideshow plugin that will actually resize the images so that if my wordpress Editors add a very large photo of height and width 4000px then it will resize the image to a sensible size of my choice.
I have not been able to find a plugin to do this. I was thinking of putting some PHP into wordpress in the right place and adding some kind of thumbnailer script when the image was shown but I would love some info if anyone has done something similar!
I’ve tried out photoq, yapb, nextgen and wppa and they don’t seem to have this feature — but I may have skipped over it!
Thanks
Andrew
