Why Watermark Automation Is NOT working?

Hi, I have the professional essential plan, and I added watermark automation into the folder including all subfolders. I also adjust the size, color, and opacity to make sure it will show up. However, none of the photos in the folder was watermarked. I have to go into each folder and added the watermark manually which doesn't make sense at all. Can anyone tell what I did wrong? Thank you!

    Hey Aurelia Pearls, thanks for posting here today!

    Just to make sure we're on the same page here, are the following the same steps you followed on your end to apply the watermarks to all files in an existing folder?

     

    -Click the ellipsis beside the folder you wish to add the watermarking automation to.

    -Click "add automation".

    -Choose auto-watermark.

    -Choose how you would like the watermark to look.

    -Check the "Apply to current files" box.

    -Click save.
    This will apply the chosen watermark to all files in the folder, as well as automatically apply it to all future files uploaded/moved to this folder.

    Let me know!
