[GIS] North arrow not syncing with map QGIS 2.18

north-arrowprint-composerrotate

I read about clicking on the 'sync with map' option after adding a north arrow (Layout -add image)(in Print composer), and I've done that, but when I rotate the map, the north arrow does not rotate with it. I've tried refreshing.
What have I missed?

edit _ this is still an issue.

edit – solved it.
There are TWO places where you have to tell it which map the N arrow should rotate with.
1 is in the layout tab for the image, under general settings, make sure reference map has the right map selected. THEN go to item properties, expand image rotation and select the sync with map option and tell it which map.
