Metadata from image not fully imported in WP

[Nzagamba]

I have a large archive of drawings (jpg files) with Metadata ( Title, Description, alt text, Caption etc...)
While WP imports "Title" and "Caption", it does not import "Alternative Text" and "Description". Is there a simple solution for this? I was so much hard work to add the metadata to all my images...

Hey there. I think this is something related to WordPress but not Lay theme specifically.

How do you import the files?
And how did you create this archive of drawings?
So you're saying the alt text is in the metadata of your JPEG?

So if I understand correctly you have a jpeg file. In the metadata of that jpeg file you added an alt text. Now, when you upload that file to WordPress, you expect that the alt text of the metadata is imported to the alt text field that you circled for me.

I think this has to do with how WordPress uses the metadata to fill out its media library image fields.
I'm not sure if I can change anything about how this works, but maybe you can Google about it. Maybe there is a plugin for this - a WordPress plugin.

I see you have a caption. Is this caption filled out automatically by your metadata when you upload a JPEG? If you want to, I can add a setting to Lay Options so that the images use the caption that is part of the file that you circled in red as an alt text.
