## Description

Fix Image Rotation plugin fixes image orientation based on EXIF data. Fixes the 
mis-oriented images clicked via mobile phones.

Functionally it filters all uploads and if EXIF->Orientation is set to a number 
greater than 1, then the image is re-saved with a new orientation before the image
is processed by WordPress.

**Though this functionality was implemented in WordPress 5.3, it is still broken
in WordPress and does not take care of edge cases that this plugin handles**

 3. Enjoy your cup of coffee while the plugin takes care of the images.

## FAQ

### How it works?

When an image is clicked by a camera or a phone, it stores some additional information
about the image. One such information is Orientation. This plugin makes use of the
Orientation value stored by the camera/phone and rotates or flips the image based
on that.

### Where’s the settings page?

This plugin works out of the box and does not require any settings.

### Can I contribute to the plugin?

Yes you can. As mentioned in the description, just fork the [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/gagan0123/fix-image-rotation),
make changes and send pull requests.
 You can even contribute by adding banner images
and logos for the plugin. If you are familiar with GitHub, then fork the above repo
and add the images in a folder named assets, and send pull request; else you can
submit URLs to the images as support request.

This is a great time-saving plugin. Sincere thanks to the author for handling a 
nagging issue inherent in Wordpress. Very nice.

Honestly for any free plugin to work 90% of the time out of the box is enough for
me. No, it’s not perfect but it’s free. I have seen paid plugins with more issues.
A big thanks to the developer for saving me a headache. 5 stars from me.

I was in the midst of uploading 30 pictures when I remembered how WordPress doesn’t
rotate the pictures for me. I found this plugin, activated it in a different browser
window, and it instantly began to work on the pictures that were uploading. Fantastic!
