 * I’m trying to test out the plugin locally via MAMP and the URL is [http://localhost:8888/sitename](http://localhost:8888/sitename)
   and the plugin doesn’t appear to be uploading any images to Cloudinary, yet the
   URL’s getting placed into a Post look to be valid URLs to my Cloudinary account.
 * Is it because I’m trying to do this with localhost as the URL? Thanks

 * Hi [@barkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barkins/) this plugin will 
   not work on your localhost, because Cloudinary requires the images to be publicly
   accessible, and your localhost is not public.
