Many, many thanks to Brian for posting this, and to Bishoy for the plugin fix! I run 3 www.ads-software.com sites, including a photo blog. After the recent upgrade to WP 4.5, my photo uploads began rotating 90 deg. CCW, but inconsistently and seemingly at random. They were correct on some browsers and mobile screens, but rotated on others. Some had the thumbnails rotated, but the full images correct, and vice versa. Some were rotated on the image page, but correct when inserted in a blog post, or vice versa.

Changing the images’ EXIF orientation from 6 to 1 didn’t help, because the images then showed the same inconsistencies, but in reverse.

I’d never seen this behavior before. Hundreds of my past photos have been iOS and they’ve displayed with no problem. Never even thought about it.

After 2 days of fruitlessly troubleshooting what changed (iOS? The EXIF data? My WP plugins? Google Drive? iOS Preview? The uploader? Anything else that touched the photos???) – including missed deadlines, hair-tearing, and general despair – I ran across your post, and immediately installed Bishoy’s plugin. Problem solved. Thank you SO much.

WordPress updates are usually so vetted and seamless, that 4.5 was literally the last item on my troubleshooting list.

Hope this additional info helps the next person!

Oh beautiful! It looks really nice now.

Thank you so much Brian! And thanks for the prompt reply. Appreciatively from Mary
