I have created two posts, the first with your first shortcode suggestion, the second with the second suggestion. Here is what I get as result:
result post 1
result post 2
Unfortunatly the result is more or less empty. What went wrong?
In the OpenOffice-textfiles
FPT-ExifTool-MetaData.odt
and
WP-Metadata.odt
I have marked the tags I have individually customized for the file P1230116.JPG
I would like to automatically fill the appropriate WP-standard fields with the contents of meta data tags like in the table meta tags.ods.
If possible, I'd like to fill the WP-Standard-Field "Description" with the content of multiple meta-tag-contents (i.e. title&caption&alt-text&Keywords&Categories&copyright).
I would be very thankful, if you could get me startet on this project!
