## Description

Update the post dates of your WordPress posts, pages, or custom post types based
on the EXIF metadata of your images. Can be done in bulk (via Tools) or one at a
time (via Edit Post screen).

Perfect for photoblogs where you want the post date to reflect when the photo was
actually taken, rather than when it was uploaded.

The dates will be changed using (in order of priority):

 1. Custom date of your choice (date or ‘skip’)**
 2. EXIF date of Featured Image
 3. EXIF date of the first attached image

**You can override the function with a custom meta field named: ‘exifize_date’ which
accepts:
 – ‘YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss’ (for example: ‘2012-06-23 14:07:00’) – ‘skip’ (
to prevent the EXIFizer from making any changes.)

## Installation

 1. Upload the `/exifize-my-dates/` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Change post dates one at a time via the ‘Edit Post’ screen
 4. Bulk change dates using ‘EXIFize Dates’ under the ‘Tools’ menu

## FAQ

### Can this plugin do X,Y, or Z?

Probably not. It is simple, straightforward, and ugly. If there is a feature you
think would be absolutely killer, let me know, and I’ll what I can do.

### Can you add feature X,Y, or Z?

Possibly – though I do this in my spare time.

### I’m getting unexpected results, what should I do?

Post on the WordPress.org forums would be your best bet – so others can benefit 
from the discussion.

It does as advertised. The only thing missing is an option do exify a single post.
Whenever I post an older image, I have to check ALL the posts, so that’s definitly
a point of improvement. That says, what it does it does great!

Gets the job done, but won’t wow you with its bling.
