 * Hello [@alive-media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alive-media/),
 * Please try clicking “**Synchronize with Cloud**” and check the issue again after
   the scan.
 * If it persists, scroll down the plugin settings, enable “**Complete deactivation**”,
   and save the settings. Then reinstall the plugin and test again.
 * Please let us know if this resolves the issue.

 * I actually found your solution in a similar thread here, downloaded the linked
   file, and installed it. That solved this problem.
