Mitch,

Thank you for your suggestion. I just found an answer that fixed the problem:

using “clear:both;” worked.

I will look into the width issue. Did you find the error on both pages or just on the homepage?

Blake,

I have a suggestion for the YouTube problem. I think you should be able to grab the embed code from YouTube and insert into the post in the html mode.

In terms of the line breaks, I think that is a problem inherent in WordPress with the text editor that it comes with. It isn’t pretty, but I sometimes use a placeholding period “.” to hold my line break. I also will place =========== lines in the post sometimes to divide sections of posts.

In terms of the tab issue, maybe you could find a page tab plugin or custom navigation plugin.

I hope some of this helps.

Simon,

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening, Whatever it is, Wherever You Are,

There is a code patch for this problem that did the job for me. Please see my other post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/274521?replies=5

I just wanted to make a final post about this issue for anyone that runs across this problem in the future, the issue here was a glitch in the WordPress code and there is a patch for it.

T,

I finally had the guts to slog through and it did solve the problem. I can now change information on my profile and work with other user accounts. Now I have to figure out what is causing me to get question marks in my post editor box in every place where I have two spaces!

I am very grateful for the help and for your patience with me!

John

T,

Thanks for the help. Their numbers do not match mine. Is that a different version they are using? and can I apply to this to a live site?

I did find the right lines, but I just want to be sure that this is OK before I do it.

John

I discovered that it was my theme causing the problem.

Same here Vegas.

Update:

I have posted this problem in several places on the support forum and I am not trying to monopolize the podium here. I just wanted to state to anyone that comes along after me that encounters this same problem, this simple fix worked until I tried to make a new post. Now I cannot post any new posts or pages to my blog and the fix broke my blog!

Be very careful with this. It may not work for you. It might make your problems worse as it did mine.

I honestly wish that there was someone that knew PHP that could give me some idea of what might be wrong here. What exactly is that error code trying to tell me?

To document this a bit better, here is what is happening with my blog now:

I can write and edit in my fckeditor text box in visual or html mode, but when I hit update or publish, my information is stripped out of the box and disappears completely. It will take very short posts. I have no idea what is going on. It will take and publish a post that consists of the word test or maybe three paragraphs, but that is all.

John

Oh, I just love talking to myself like this. I guess I am really the only one who has run across this issue.

I have bad news and I want to share it in case anyone else runs across this Catchable fatal error in wp-db.php. The simple fix that I used above fixed my previous problems and made bigger problems.

I now have bigger problems that I did not have before. I now have a situation where I cannot make posts. It seems that most of the text that I enter into text boxes is simply wiped out when I hit the update or publish button.

Now I am really confused and I think I have to do the big job of starting over.

Fix this by ommitting the addslashes function:

Change the
return addslashes( $string );

into:

return $string;
