# Downloading from Cloudinary

 * Hello,
 * I have installed latest version of cloudinary plugin in our WordPress site and
   I have a problem with it.
 * I have set to use Cloudinary and WordPress as storage in settings and autosync.
 * When I go to Media Library i see many images set with label ‘Downloading from
   Cloudinary’ and they stay like this for very very long time already. I don’t 
   see activity and they never get that label changed, neither the images are really
   downloaded. When I edit the image post, I see that the image URL is cloudinary
   image url and I guess this is expected if is not downloading them.
 * So now I am not sure now if it is really downloading them to local storage or
   if it must be downloading them, or just the label ‘Downloading from Cloudinary’
   is wrong and misleading.
 * Can you please give me more info about that?
 * Another thing also is when I run analyze with WP Cli, it says that i have more
   than 1000 images unsuported and from what I understand, those are the images 
   that are part of Cloudinary and are not part of the wordpress storage itself.
 * Is that true and is this reason to show them ‘unsupported’ for sync? Is the sync
   one way only from WP to Cloudinary?
 * I have prepared also a report file, but I don’t see a way to attach it here.
 * Best regards,
    Ali Nebi

 * Hi [@anebi85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anebi85/)
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * When the label `Downloading from Cloudinary` is displayed it means that the storage
   was set as `Cloudinary Only` and changed to `Cloudinary and WordPress` so now
   the images are being downloaded in order to be also stored in your WordPress 
   storage.
 * Since those images are already hosted in Cloudinary, it is normal that the URLs
   are pointing to Cloudinary since they are still synced.
 * Could you let me know how many images in total you have? And the type of files
   you have on your WordPress Media Library? Are they all synced to Cloudinary?
 * If you’d like to attach the System Report or any attachments, you will need to
   create a ticket to [support@cloudinary.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/downloading-from-cloudinary/support@cloudinary.com?output_format=md).
 * Thanks in advance.
    Best, Loic

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your fast reply.
 * The subfolder I have set for this specific site is with total count of assets
   in Cloudinary: 1,901
 * We have images (jpg/png) mostly and maybe few SVGs, but 99.9% of the images are
   jpg/png.
 * What I see is that the images are never downloaded to the local storage and always
   stay with Downloding from Clodinary label. No matter how long I am waiting. I
   see this for more than a week already. I tried to reinstall cloudinary plugin
   and do bulk sync but this does change anything, so it looks like to me that the
   images are never downloaded.
 * And the type of files you have on your WordPress Media Library? – jpg, png,svg(
   mostly jpg and png)
 * Are they all synced to Cloudinary – local storage got synced to cloudinary when
   i ran wp cli:
 *     ```
       Analyzing 2578 assets:
       2578 Analyzed |  100% 
   
       Synced      : 257
       Un-synced   : 4
       Unsupported : 2317
       ```
   
 * From what I saw Unsupported is set when the image is missing locally.
 * Are they all synced to Cloudinary? – some of the images before upgrade to v2 
   were locally for wp and others (big part were in cloudinary only under the subfolder),
   so cloudinary images under that subfolder are/were never part of WP media library
   before.
 * It is quite strange. I am going to send you the report file with included a single
   image that is with that state.
 * I forgot to mention that we were using plugin v1 and upgraded it to v2 follow
   the procedure with deactivate v1, uninstall v1, install v2 and reconfigure it.
 * Thanks and regards,
    Ali

 * Hi [@anebi85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anebi85/),
 * As confirmed on our internal ticket, `2.7.1` does fix the issue so I am closing
   this forum thread.
 * Best,
