When migrating from another system (i.e. Drupal), WordPress can require data that is currently serialized to be unserialized and stored in its own WordPress-specific tables/columns. This plugin can look for such data, and deserialize and store it, based on the plugin settings.
This plugin handles one (configurable) imported field at a time, so all imported, serialized data needs to be stored in that single field. Each key in that field can be mapped to any column, and stored in either <code>wp_postmeta</code> or <code>wp_posts</code>, as shown below:
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
if ( $maps[$key][‘wp_table’] === ‘wp_postmeta’ && $value != ” && $value != NULL ) { 
 add_post_meta( $post_id, $maps[$key][‘wp_column’], $value, $maps[$key][‘unique’] ); 
} else if ( $maps[$key][‘wp_table’] === ‘wp_posts’ && $value != ” && $value != NULL ) { 
 $post = array( 
 ‘ID’ => $post_id, 
 $maps[$key][‘wp_column’] => $value 
 ); 
 wp_update_post( $post ); 
} 
 `
The <code>wp_schedule_event</code> method is used to deserialize the data and place it into its appropriate fields, and it can run at any configurable interval (you pick a number, and then a unit of time).

WP Strip Image Metadata is a privacy focused WordPress plugin that helps in removing potentially sensitive metadata from your uploaded images.
What is image metadata?
Image metadata is extra information embedded in image files. This information is stored in a variety of formats and contains items like the model of the camera that took a photo.
However, image metadata may also contain identifying information such as the GPS location coordinates of an image taken with a smartphone for example.
This plugin provides an easy enabled/disabled setting so you can make the call on when image metadata should be removed.
Note: this plugin requires the “Imagick” or “Gmagick” PHP extension to function.

Excellent plugin, simple and to the point. Confirmed it works perfectly via the "Edit more details" link when viewing an image in the media gallery.

Great plugin

Strip image metadata on upload or via bulk action, and view image EXIF data.
