Unable to change profile pictures/avatar

omfgblondie

Whenever I try to upload a new profile picture (by clicking Add a Profile Picture), I get "Whoops! There was an error."

Version: Version 2.1.3
Theme: Bootstrap

Troubleshooting:
I've tried changing the theme, and it's the same issue still.
I've also tried disabling all my plugins, and it's the same issue still.
I've tried searching the community, but I wasn't able to find any help

make sure your uploads folder has write permissions, and try enabling debug. and upgrade to version 2.1.5 of vanilla.

also make sure /uploads/thumbnails is writeable and /uploads/userpics is writeable

My upload folder has chmod 777, and I'm able to upload the Category Photos (thanks for helping with that, btw), so it shouldn't be permissions. There weren't any thumbnails or userpics folders in /uploads, but after creating them, the problem still stands.

Debugger doesn't give me any information on the issue (which is shown in a pop-up), only the profile page.

I suppose I'll have to try to upgrade and see if that helps.

I've been looking through the permissions, and from what I can tell from other threads you're supposed to be be able to control whether or not a user can change their profile picture. I can't seem to find that setting.

Try copying the link of that button and paste it directly to the address bar. It should open up in a separate screen then (maybe it would help to post that link here, too)

Do you still only see that Whoops if you add $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE; to your /conf/config.php?

So I guess PHP GD is my issue, thanks
