Hey! Head and Body, unite!

hello, can someone help me? When I turn on the walking feature, my character's head separates from his body. "neck" is in the "body" layer. They should have held on to each other:/ what can I do?

A different version that @Keyvancloud323284143a4n restarted but still had a trouble with:

After my fix:

 

 

The rig before the fix: 

Notice the yellow contour goes around the head and the torso.

 

The rig after the fix:

Notice how the yellow contour of the head layer is just around the head.

 

Steps:

1. Make the "Head" and "Right Arm" layers independent (crowned) so they are treated as separate 2D images

2. Move the origin of the Head layer on top of the parent layer (green region) so the head will be connected

    Can you share a screen-capture of the rigging hierarchy? I am wondering if (a) the head layer is tagged independent of the body and (b) the head layer origin point is situated on the neck. Thanks in advance.

    Okay, the head isn't independent, but the body is, so try toggling the crown icon on the body to make it dependent to the head. Also, it looks like the origin point for the head is in the default position. Try dragging it so that it makes contact with the neck (the body will turn green).
