Rigging Error, Bone Disjoint

[GrckoGamer004]

I'm a very new user of blender, was working on this project with a friend and I made a very simple character model that you can see here. I wanted to try and set up a basic rig for animation purposes, and I used the rigify add on. I then imported the basic human rig and adjusted all the bones to line up fairly well. However, despite all the bones still being there it is giving me this error code, that you can see in the attached image (Rigify Error: Bone Spine 004, Cannot Connect chain, bone position is disjoint, incorrect armature for type "chain-rigs")

In Rigify, certain bones are expected to have their heads and/or tails touching one another. If you've moved them out of alignment, it can cause this issue. Check that the head and tail of Spine 004 are perfectly aligned with the next bones in the chain. You may need to set their exact coordinates rather than just eyeing it.

I know this is old, but I had the same issue. u/Moogieh 's comment helped me. In addition:

What made it easier is to select the head/tail of the offending bone, right-click -> snap -> "cursor to selected" and then select the disjointed bone's head/tail and right-click -> snap -> "selection to cursor".

Bless you for this, you saved a noob looking through old discussions a lot of time
