Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot select image to create faviconI have completely identical symptoms to Kenneth. To reiterate:
1. logo works fine with the recommended size png file
2. when I try to select a 512×512 png file for the site icon, the check box next to the image unchecks and the select button goes gray.
3. when I try to select a larger png file I get one step farther, to cropping. But when I clicked the button labeled “Crop Image” it responded with the error “There has been an error cropping your image”.
All my permissions are 755 as Kenneth. Also like Kenneth I can fix the problem by setting the value for site_icon in the wp_options database table, getting the value from
`select post_id from wp_postmeta where meta_value like ‘%mylogoname%’;
+———+
| post_id |
+———+
| 10 |
| 10 |

update wp_options set option_value=’10’ where option_name=’site_icon’;`I’m a WordPress newbie (I’m a Django/Mezzanine dev usually) so not sure what the procedure is here in WordPress land. I’d be happy to raise a bug report and work with somebody closely on getting to the bottom of this by email/chat/earmail.
More likely I guess is that this is part of a larger problem I have due to not having installed WordPress correctly or set up my database correctly (I am hosting on my own Linode VPS using Nginx with fastcgi and MariaDB). @kenneth.vogt did you ever get to the bottom of this?
