In reply to: [Cloudinary - Deliver Images and Videos at Scale] Image captions are lostIndeed there’s an issue at the moment where the caption is unkept after uploading to Cloudinary.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Our dev team is working on fixing this issue. Updates to follow.
Hi,
Cloudinary indeed supports allowing your end-users to upload images through your web-app straight to your account.
Those image are then, immediately, available for on-the-fly transformations and delivering through a fast CDN.
Today Cloudinary offers a fully responsive and customizable Upload-Widget which offers interactive cropping on the client-side. It’s on our road map to add some more interactive features to the current ‘upload & crop’.
Having said that, an interactive widget like the one described in the question might be risky, as every preview of a transformed image is being processed and counted against the customer’s Quota. This could result with generating a large amount of unnecessary derived images and storing it on your account.
Meantime you can consider offering your users to submit a form containing some transformations parameters (width, height, crop, gravity, overlay text, etc.) and generate the final result once they finish.
I hope this will help you with your use-case.
Thanks, Nadav.
You might want to have a look at our upload presets:
http://cloudinary.com/blog/centralized_control_for_image_upload_image_size_format_thumbnail_generation_tagging_and_moreYou can create an upload preset, and set its parameters the way you’d like, including automatically put all newly uploaded resources a folder, e.g.,
Jan2015. Set this preset as a default upload preset, so it’ll be applied to all uploads.Then, you’ll be able to update this preset once a month to have the corresponding folder name.
In the Media library, you should be able to check the boxes of the images you wish to upload to your Cloudinary account, and then under the Bulk Actions drop-down menu select “Upload to Cloudinary“.
If this doesn’t work, please have a look at the following which might help with finding the issue:

In reply to: [Cloudinary - Deliver Images and Videos at Scale] Use https schemeNote that the code you see is relevant for Cloudinary’s migration process only and not for already uploaded images nor future image uploads.
For new images that you wish to add to posts, you can set the ‘**Protocol**’ parameter to ‘HTTPS‘ instead of the default ‘HTTP‘.If you wish to change already uploaded images to be delivered via HTTPS, you can use 3rd party tools like Search and Replace, this plugin can go through your database and alter the URLs. So for example, you can search for all
http://res.cloudinary.com/<your_cloud_name>/and replace them withhttps://res.cloudinary.com/<your_cloud_name>/. Please note that you should backup your WordPress database before applying this process.The code that you altered won’t have any side-effects, however note that this will be applied for migrated images only (e.g., migrating local WordPress images to your Cloudinary account). If you wish to upload future images directly into a folder, you can go to your Cloudinary Media library, create a new folder and then you can click on it to go in and upload images directly into that folder. Alternatively, you can define a default upload preset to define a folder for all future uploads.

In reply to: [Cloudinary - Deliver Images and Videos at Scale] Featured Image OptionAfter a Cloudinary image is inserted into a post, or a post gallery, it is added to your WordPress media library automatically. Then, this image can be used as a featured image. This flow was the same in previous WordPress versions.
For more information:
http://support.cloudinary.com/entries/23422432-How-can-I-utilize-images-uploaded-to-Cloudinary-as-featured-images-@jill – I wanted to update you that the plugin has been updated and a ‘Cancel‘ button appears now after clicking on ‘Cloudinary Upload/Insert‘ which allows you to go back to your post’s edit page.
Hi Jill,
Thank you for sharing the issues you experienced.
I’m glad the new Cloudinary version works for you now.Regarding getting back to the post – our dev team is looking into it. We’ll be happy to update as soon as a fix for this is available.
Regarding the “Non existing images” – It seems that the images you referred to were deleted from your account. Since your account has the ‘Automatic backup’ mode enabled, a ‘Non existing uploaded picture’ instance is shown in your account for restoration purposes.
If this still doesn’t work for you when trying from a new computer, please feel free to open a ticket and we’ll be happy to further look at this issue.
Please try to go through the steps in the following link:

In reply to: [Cloudinary - Deliver Images and Videos at Scale] using webpHi Dave,
You can deliver the ‘f_auto‘ URL on any browser. The uniqueness about ‘f_auto‘ is that a WebP image is returned in supporting browsers (e.g., Chrome) while JPG is returned on all others.
You can have a look at the network tab in Chrome and verify that the content type of the returned image is image/webp.
