 * I’m using version 2.9.3 of the plugin and all appears well, however I’ve recently
   had a couple of my images being reported as Cloudinary Images after the plugin
   tries to optimize them, these images aren’t and have never been Cloudinary Images,
   can you please advise as my client is a bit worried about why it’s flagging these
   image like this.
 * thank you

 * Turn on debugging, and view those images in List view. The only way it says “
   Cloudinary image” is if they have cloudinary metadata. Debugging mode will allow
   you to view the actual metadata to inspect for yourself.

 * Hi nosilver4u,
 * I’ve turned on debugging and for some reason on the cloudinary images where the
   meta data should be it just says processing and it’s been saying that since I
   turned it on last Friday. Our client says that none of their images have come
   from cloudinary as it’s not a service they use and they want to know why these
   images are being flagged like this.
 * I have however managed to check the Meta data using this website [http://metapicz.com](http://metapicz.com)
   and I can’t see anything that references cloudinary, in fact the first image 
   didn’t have any real meta data attached to it.
 * Any other ideas on how I can check this out.
 * Thank you

 * The metadata we’re talking about here is stored in the WP database, not on the
   files themselves, so metapicz isn’t going to be of much use. That’s very odd 
   that they still say they are processing, as that “transient data” should expire
   after 24 hours unless you keep trying to re-optimize the images.
    Can you please
   provide a screenshot of where it says anything about Cloudinary in the Media 
   Library, with EWWW’s debugging option turned on please?

 * Hi,
 * Please find attached a screen grab of some of the posts that are being flagged
   as Cloudinary Images, I’ve also included one that has finished processing and
   contains the Meta Data.

 * Oh weird, you’re being hit by a bug that I’m working on fixing. Please stop optimizing,
   as the plugin seems to be corrupting metadata somehow (2.9.5 will have an automatic
   metadata repair).

 * Also, discovered the cloudinary thing would indicate the site is running an old
   version of PHP (5.3 or earlier). Basically, because the attachment metadata (
   which should be an array) has been set to a string, PHP interprets the array 
   key name as a string offset. Because the string isn’t empty, the first condition
   in the custom column code is met, stating that it is a Cloudinary image (even
   though it obviously is not).
 * While you wait for EWWW IO 2.9.5, I’d recommend to your client that they upgrade
   PHP, as anything before 5.6 is unsupported, so it is up to the webhost to patch
   any security holes… not a position I’d want to be in.

 * Hi nosilver4u,
 * Thank you very much for the quick responses on this one, I can confirm that the
   client is currently running PHP4.3 unfortunately I don’t manage their hosting
   at the moment but have made them aware about the dangers of this, they are moving
   hosting providers once that has happened I will be in a position to advise and
   change the versions of PHP etc that are being run on the server, in the meantime
   I will let them know that this issue is related to their outdated PHP.
 * Look forward to your update.
 * Thank you
