Beschrijving
Your photos, songs, and videos hold more information than you might think—camera settings, recording details, dimensions, and more. WordPress quietly saves all of that data when you upload a file but doesn’t make it easy to showcase it. X3P0: Media Data changes that.
Media Data introduces powerful yet simple blocks for showing metadata from any WordPress media file. Whether you’re a photographer displaying EXIF details, a podcaster highlighting episode metadata, or an archivist cataloging digital assets, this plugin brings your media’s data to the forefront—right from the block editor.
Why You’ll Love It
- Display EXIF, ID3, and other file metadata directly in your posts or pages.
- Works with all standard WordPress media types: images, audio, video, and beyond.
- No coding required—just add blocks and select what to show.
- Highly flexible: rename or hide labels, mix fields, and adjust layout visually.
- Integrates seamlessly with any block theme.
How It Works
- Add the Media Data block to any post or page.
- Upload or select a media file from your library.
- Automatically, common fields (like file name, size, and dimensions) appear.
- Add Media Data Field blocks to display custom metadata like:
- Camera model, exposure, and ISO
- Audio artist, album, and duration
- Video resolution, length, and codecs
- Customize field labels directly in the editor, or manage them through sidebar controls.
X3P0: Media Data taps into metadata already stored by WordPress—no extra processing or plugins required.
Perfect For
- Photographers who want EXIF details under their images.
- Podcasters and musicians showing ID3 tags like track title and artist.
- Filmmakers or educators displaying resolution or duration info.
- Bloggers and archivists curating digital collections.

FAQ
Does this plugin work with all themes?
Yes. It’s fully compatible with block themes and works with classic themes using the block editor.
Does it modify my media files?
No, all metadata is read-only. Media Data retrieves information stored by WordPress and displays it dynamically.
Can I display metadata outside of posts or pages?
Absolutely. If you have a block theme or a classic theme that supports block templates or template parts, you can use the block. It can be placed in any block-ready content area.
What about privacy or EXIF location data?
You have full control over what fields appear—simply omit fields you don’t want to display publicly.
Does it support Block Bindings?
Yes. If running WordPress 6.9 or newer, developers can add custom bindings for the
x3p0/media-datablock’smediaIdattribute. This will automatically pass the ID to the nested field blocks.
