    Adding one more post of feedback:

    I got around the issue by commenting out line 829:

    $name = mb_check_encoding($name, 'UTF-8') ? $name : mb_convert_encoding( $name, 'UTF-8' );

    Adding a field works now. I don’t need the sanity check for my personal use anyways.

    Cheers,
    Ryan

    I got this in my PHP error log:

    [20-Mar-2018 20:44:01 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_check_encoding() in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes/PDb_Manage_Fields.class.php on line 829

    Function it is referring to is:

     public static function make_name( $string )
    {
      /*
       * truncate to 64 characters, then replace any characters that would cause problems
       * in queries
       */
      $name = strtolower( str_replace(
              array(' ', '-', '/', "'", '"', '\\', '#', '.', '$', '&', '%'),
              array('_', '_', '_', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'and', 'pct'),
              stripslashes( substr( $string, 0, 64 ) )
              ) );
      /*
       * allow only proper unicode letters, numerals and legal symbols
       */
      $name = mb_check_encoding($name, 'UTF-8') ? $name : mb_convert_encoding( $name, 'UTF-8' );
      return preg_replace( '#[^\p{L}\p{N}_]#u', '', $name );
    }

    Thanks for your help,
    Ryan
