 * That’s sounds like a good way to do it. In all honesty, I have never worked with
   Genesis before. The code is structured very differently than any other WordPress
   template I have every used. I could not find the traditional loop, head etc within
   the template, the child which I had my client purchase. (She wanted me to help
   her with her website and my emphatic answer was NO, a few times because I know
   how much work it is to build and maintain a site. So I said, at least, I don’t
   want to theme the thing. There is still plenty of tweaking to do without the 
   theming.) I will have to just deal with it as is. I will also experiment with
   getting rid of some of the extra crops, backing them up offline just in case 
   I see problems.

 * I’m not sure what was going on yesterday, but I made significant changes this
   morning, before you revisited the site.
 * 1) I discovered that by disabling Photon, I would lose the responsiveness in 
   other galleries. This is less than ideal. So I had reactivate it.
 * 2) I downloaded all the images from the server. Every photo uploaded creates:
   –
   original – 45×45* – 80×80* [This is set in the Zen theme but I’m not clear where
   it is used.] – 150×150* [I know this is set in the media settings screen and 
   I do use it] – 300×170 (this is the one used for featured photos on the artist
   page and is set in the Zen Theme)* – 300×250 – 300×300 [I know this is set in
   the media settings screen]
 * As a work around, I went back in and reuploaded the 300×170 images (hence making
   them appear in the WordPress GUI twice.)
 * This is an extremely inelegant solution because now those photos, also have the
   same number of iterations. (the one’s I starred.)
 * If you FTP in, you can see this behavior clearly. You won’t see it in the WordPress
   front end.
 * I’m still thinking about which of these file sizes I can eliminate. Some are 
   need for the backend thumbnails etc. And then I have to put something in the 
   functions to do that.

 * mmm… so it seems when I deactivated Photon, I lost the responsive part of a slideshow
   gallery making images squish with unattractive aspect ratios. Wow, this is so
   complicated. I’m not sure why this is not better integrated. I’m pretty frustrated
   with this.

 * Hi. I have decided to deactivate Photon. It appears it doesn’t work using photo
   galleries and the bulk of the images hosted there, will be in the form of photo
   galleries. (Jetpack to be exact.)
 * Thanks for your assistance. I wish this would have worked because it would have
   been great to have the extra boost from Photon. But if the bulk of the images
   aren’t being served, AND it is messing up the appearance on an important page,
   it simply isn’t worth it.

 * Broken? I don’t see broken images. Do you mean Adam’s code is working somewhere
   else on the site? I haven’t deactivated that plugin.
 * The artist page is a work in progress. This site was built in two weeks. There
   will be many more artists added to it over time.
 * When I upload an image, WordPress automatically creates different versions cropped
   at different sizes. This is pretty standard out of the box behavior. One of the
   sizes is the featured size on this page. So while in the gui, it registers as
   one image, there are actually four other versions with the pixel size dimensions
   appended to the file name.
 * I considered taking the correctly cropped photos and uploading them separately.
   WordPress will create another four versions when I upload it, making a total 
   of 10 images for one photo.
 * I’d rather disable it in the one page.

 * Unfortunately, that had no effect. WordPress doesn’t show all the various crops
   in the GUI. You only know of them when you go into it via FTP. So it is still
   registering the original image.
 * It seems like a lot of overhead to create new images, and new postID just for
   the featured photo rather than just being able to take from the WordPress cropped
   photos.

 * I am sorry I wasn’t clear. I will be more specific.
 * The website uses a theme called Zen built in the Genesis framework.
 * In order to make very minor changes, such as added a branded logo, and change
   some colors in the navigation, I needed to create a child theme of Zen.
 * WordPress does not support a grandchild theme. I did some research and discovered
   some code that would function as a plugin, but allow me to make these minor customizations
   to the appearance. Only instead of installing it in the theme directory, it is
   installed in the plugin directory and activates as a plugin.
 * It had its own functions file where I have been successful in making other modifications
   such as setting the max-width on pages that use Jetpack tiled gsllery. It also
   allowed my to place a branded logo in a directory and make any css changes I 
   want. For all intents and purposes, it functions like a theme and I have had 
   no issues using it this way.
 * I placed your code in the functions file and it did not work. I placed your code
   in a standalone php file and activated it as a plugin, it did not work. I also
   deactivated the grandchild theme using only Zen. It did not work.
 * The artist page functions like an farchive where there is no content on the actual
   page. Instead, it is a single page that uses the category to add content. Each
   artist page, in its own post id used this category hence making the display possible.

 * Right now, I am being faced with having to completely disable the Photon plugin.
   This is unfortunate because the whole site could use the benefit of using it.
   However, the artist page is an important page and having it crop and then resize
   in this way doesn’t work where aesthetics are very important.
    [http://abgallerytribeca.com/artists/](http://abgallerytribeca.com/artists/)
 * The image for instance, should display this url, customized specifically for 
   this page.
 * Gloria McLean head cut off

 * Gloria McLean, what should appear.

 * Clearly, you can see why having featured images where the crop cuts people’s 
   heads off is less than ideal.
 * I’d be happy to just turn photon off with Adam’s changes, but it seemed to have
   no effect when I applied it.
 * The theme in use, is a Genesis Child called Zen with customizations in a grandfather.
   In order to work around WP limitations, the grandfather theme changes are applied
   as a plugin and the functions file resides within the plugin.
 * Is this why Adams code doesn’t work?
 * My functions file is pretty simple and it works for my jetpack change.
 *     ```

 * I’ve been working on this for days. I didn’t understand what I am supposed to
   do with this code.
 * It took me a while to get the script to show up. I had trouble with the child
   theme.
 * I added this to the functions.php file in the child theme.
 *     ```
       function my_analytics() {
       	wp_register_script('carousel-analytics', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/carousel-analytics.js', true);

       }
   
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_analytics' );
       ```
   
 * And I copied the code from the link verbatim. It seems to load but doesn’t record
   the individual hits in the carousel slideshow.
 * Is there something I’m supposed to add to that Javascript file.
 * I have scoured the web to understand what I am supposed to do. The information
   is thin, at best. So if anyone has made this work, please tell me.
