UPDATE: I just updated my site to version 3.8.1 in case that had any bearing on the case. It didn’t help.

In case it’s relevant, I’m using v. 2.2.3 of the Cunjo plug-in.

Thank you, Greg, I’ll check those out. Sorry for the late response; WP isn’t sending notifications when there’s a response to one of my questions on the forum (even though I’ve check-marked “notify me”). Thanks again. I love the theme!

Just reporting back that although I haven’t been able to solve this problem (and got the same problem yesterday making another child theme, so it may not be specific to Origami), I got around it by Zipping my child theme’s style.css file (after putting it in a folder), then uploaded it manually to my WP site. That worked. I don’t know why that worked and the more conventional way didn’t, but I mention it in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Greg, thank you for the beautiful theme. I’m having the same dilemma as jgfitz with the header image and header title. I’m working on a development site on a local server with the most current version of WP and most current version of Origami, but since the site is not online yet I can’t post a link to it here. I’m confused, because the absolutely gorgeous Origami site image that jgfitz referenced above appears to have a menu above the header image and then the site title (& possibly subtitle) above that. It’s lovely and that’s what I was hoping to achieve with the site I’m building. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

Thank you, govpatel. I looked into your idea and in the end decided to go at this a different way, by making a slight change to the header.php, as described here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/31007/how-to-remove-header-image-on-subpages-in-twenty-eleven-default-theme

It worked well for me, and although I now still have the site title and site description at the head of each sub-page, I kind of like it that way and may decide to keep it. If not, I’ll make a further change to the header.php.

Thank you again for your quick response. I’ll mark this resolved.

Temporary fix: removed this line from index.php:
cover:'<?php echo $song->cover; ?>’

I would still prefer to get the covers to work if possible.

Thank you.

Oh, and one other step I tried:

5. Disabled all other plug-ins.

Still no luck.

Maeve, it’s still not working for me. Here’s what I’ve done since I last wrote:

1. Deactivated and deleted the plug-in; removed all associated image files from my media library.
2. Re-formatted all cover art in Photoshop to 125px x 125px with new file names; uploaded all to media library.
3. Downloaded plug-in again from WP internal plug-in loader (NOTE: new version: 2.2).
4. Changed color scheme and began a new playlist with the fresh image files (as well as mp3 and ogg files).

The cover image is still squashed and I don’t see anything in Firebug to alert me to the source of the problem. I would be very grateful for any suggestions you have. Thank you!

Thank you for your quick response, Maeve. I have re-checked the actual size of the cover images I’m using on the site and they seem to be 125px x 125px, as I intended. They also appear that way when I inspect the page using Firebug. Not seeing the 25 x 125 you mentioned, but I suspect that’s the root of my problem — I just can’t locate any value that corresponds to that. I resized all of them in Photoshop before setting up the audio player (the original size was 1400px x 1400px). I’ll continue to investigate to see where I’ve tripped myself up; will try your idea of re-doing and re-naming the image links. Thank you again!

I don’t know if this will help, but I got my chosen thumbnail to show up when I shared my site in Facebook by adding this to the header.php (in my TwentyEleven child theme), right under </title>:

‘<meta property=”og:image” content=”YOUR IMAGE URL HERE” />’

I had added the thumbnail image to my media library and copied the full URL from there. It worked perfectly.

However, I’m having trouble getting the proper title of the web site to show up when I post to Facebook. It annoying reads “Home” which is the name of the static homepage I created. AlexKwa, how did you get the description to work?

My site is

I’m so grateful to you for that news, halty. Flood of relief here, and a new commitment to strengthening my web site security.

Thank you very much!!

Thanks, Esmi. I have taken it out of Maintenance Mode. Most of the plugins have been deactivated or deleted completely, so it’s kind of bare bones right now.

Hi guys, I have an update on this: I was able to get the correct thumbnail to show up when I shared my web site on Facebook by posting this code:
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/image.jpg" />
into the top of my home page in edit/HTML mode. (Of course, my image url was substituted for the generic one in the code, and I had earlier in the day changed it from a .png file to a .jpg file — don’t know if that made any difference.) It worked!

Hi Rattus, I’m having some problems with the thumbnails for GRAND FIA Gallery also. I tried what you described but was not given the option to choose the size. In the overall Manage Galleries page I can select ‘Create New Thumbnails’ and click ‘Apply’ but I am then stopped by “no images selected.” If I instead go into the gallery itself and choose ‘Create new Thumbnails’ I’m only able to drag a box around the portion of the photo I want to choose, and am not allowed to set (or to even to know) the size. The thumbnails look so distorted when I choose a portion of my face that I gave up and chose the instruments I’m playing instead.

I’m using a TwentyEleven child theme and my site is .

Thank you!
