Title: Error cropping image Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Error cropping image * [Hepple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hepple/) * (@hepple) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-cropping-image/) * I am trying to add a header image to my WordPress site. * I have gone to “Appearance >> Header Image >> Add New Image” and uploaded an image. I then press “Select and crop” and then press “Crop”. When I do this I get the error “There has been an error cropping your image.” which is completely unhelpful. * I haven’t been able to find any solutions to this online. I have tried with various different images, none of them work. As a result I cannot set any image to be the header image. * How do I fix this problem?

It seems like a bug, looking at the error messages I’m getting in my logs: * ``` [Tue Feb 10 11:13:34 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imagecreatetruecolor(): Invalid image dimensions in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/media.php on line 2043, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=[..] [Tue Feb 10 11:13:34 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imageantialias() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 283, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=[...] [Tue Feb 10 11:13:34 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imagecopyresampled() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 285, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=[...] [Tue Feb 10 11:20:28 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imagecreatetruecolor(): Invalid image dimensions in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/media.php on line 2043, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=[...] [Tue Feb 10 11:20:28 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imageantialias() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 283, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=[...] [Tue Feb 10 11:20:28 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imagecopyresampled() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 285, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=[...] [Tue Feb 10 14:20:34 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imagecreatetruecolor(): Invalid image dimensions in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/media.php on line 2043, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fdisc%2Fwp-admin%2Fthemes.php&autofocus[control]=header_image [Tue Feb 10 14:20:34 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imageantialias() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 283, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fdisc%2Fwp-admin%2Fthemes.php&autofocus[control]=header_image [Tue Feb 10 14:20:34 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.107] PHP Warning: imagecopyresampled() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 285, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fdisc%2Fwp-admin%2Fthemes.php&autofocus[control]=header_image [Tue Feb 10 14:23:25 2015] [error] [client 128.175.250.132] Invalid URI in request GET HTTP/1.1 [Tue Feb 10 14:32:58 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.106] PHP Warning: imagecreatetruecolor(): Invalid image dimensions in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/media.php on line 2043, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fdisc%2Fwp-admin%2F&autofocus[control]=header_image [Tue Feb 10 14:32:58 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.106] PHP Warning: imageantialias() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/www/html/library/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 283, referer: [...]/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fdisc%2Fwp-admin%2F&autofocus[control]=header_image [Tue Feb 10 14:32:58 2015] [error] [client 128.175.82.106] PHP Warning: imagecopyresampled() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in [..]/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 285, referer: [..]/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fdisc%2Fwp-admin%2F&autofocus[control]=header_image ``` * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-cropping-image/#post-5760484) * [@ahamelers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahamelers/) [Per the forum welcome please start your own topic instead](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post). * [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform) * Your problem while similar may not be the same and it’s considered impolite to take over someone else’s topic. * [ahamelers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahamelers/) * (@ahamelers) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-cropping-image/#post-5760486) * Okay, thanks!
