    In reply to: fatal error

    I have this very same error message. It started after I added several themes to the themes folder. 2 of the 10 themes that I downloaded caused this error to occur. Yes, just simply having these themes’ folders in the /wp-content/themes folder causes the Presentation tab to show the error you mentioned. So after having nailed it down to the two theme folders in particular, and having removed them now, the problem has gone away. I don’t think it’s necessarily the themes’ fault, however, since I tried another download of one of those themes, and it loads just fine. Weird! I did not have to go through changing of any file or directory permissions, by the way.

    By the way, here is another thread which specifically addresses the single quotes problem in email posts:

    It turns out that the place where you need to put addslashes() or mysql_real_escape_string() is in functions-post.php near line 49. Specifically, you’ll want to address both the title and contents variables. If you don’t, you will not be able to use SINGLE quotes in either the title or the contents. Double quotes and backslashes are fine, however. I’m not sure why that would be the case.

    Here’s my question… Is anyone able to email their posts with photos inline (or attached)? My photos show up in my posts as binary code. The codex claims that images should, in fact, show up in our posts just fine. I’m so close to getting this email posting down, but doh! Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

    By the way, don’t forget to apply the solutions provided in this thread to both $post_content and $post_title. ??

    I have the exact same problem when trying to post via email. I’ve fuddled around with addslashes and other things in the wp-mail.php file, but the problem of single quotes in my post has persist. Thanks for the tip on the functions-post.php file.

    I’m only just now reading this thread, and I don’t find this solution all that satisfying. What determines when and when not to use addslashes throughout the WordPress php files? I’m under the impression that addslashes should be used whenever you run a query. Why don’t all the queries in these WP php files make use of the addslashes() function? Thanks, by the way, to the stellar sleuths who discovered where to stick the addslashes to resolve this particular problem. I’m just a little unsettled by it.
