Hi @kusalo,
Yes, it should import that metadata. If it doesn’t, perhaps your site uses a different priority for the metadata type ( prioritizing let’s say IPTC or EXIF over XMP ) it imports so let’s try adding this PHP snippet ( using your child theme’s functions.php let’s say )
$order = apply_filters('ngg_metadata_parse_order', ['XMP', 'IPTC', 'EXIF']);

@imagely – thanks for the reply
I tried so many combinations of $order, with log -out -in each time, but it seemed to make little difference. I have put together a very simple http://www.page with a few screen shots showing info for one file.

I get alt\text and tags but no description, caption. I was getting that but…
When I look at ‘show meta data’ for the image – there it is. Just can’t get it in the hole!

Hi @kusalo,
That’s odd. Please reach out to our support team directly at https://www.imagely.com/report-bug/ and we’ll have a closer look at it.

I can confirm that apostrophe’s or single-quotes ‘ ‘ are an issue. I have removed them and all is working.
I would repeat my humble suggestion that a short line mentioning this on your:
https://www.imagely.com/docs/image-meta-data/
page could save hassles.
I think I have resolved my end of things. Thank you.

Hi @kusalo,
Normally, using single quotation marks for the images title captions should work unless your server use a deprecated ModSecurity rule that had to do with a legacy NextGen Gallery version but was fixed years ago
Respectively you can simply ask your hosting whitelist that ModSecurity rule ( 77229500 ).
