Great. This seems to work, but I will have to rejig the functions I’m currently working with – I was using the field name to create an HTML5 data attribute which I used to dynamically filter results client-side (e.g., before ‘province’ could be used to filter both user roles).
I can probably just set up an object to do a lookup of the proper name after the fact.
Sorry for the late reply – I was on vacation. Thank you for referring me to that URL, Hugo. I will admit that I should have visited the ‘Getting Started’ page before installing BuddyPress and looked for big picture issues in the WordPress installation as opposed to zoning in on my specific problem.
I don’t know if an error message could be added letting the user know when the GD module is not installed on the server (perhaps this could be difficult…), but having some sort of indication of why the error was encountered would be helpful in debugging.
Fantastic. That worked. The PHP GD extension was not enabled. Do you know where I could have found that information out? I was searching for quite a while and never came past anything mentioning GD library.
