For some reason, I can’t submit a post that has an odd number of apostrophes in it. Here is the error I get:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't i use an apostrophe?

','2007-12-21 20:48:42', '76.24.176.14', '0', ' at line 4]

INSERT INTO thinkstorm_posts (forum_id, topic_id, poster_id, post_text, post_time, poster_ip, post_status, post_position) VALUES ('13', '7', '1', '



can't i use an odd number of apostrophes?

','2007-12-21 20:48:42', '76.24.176.14', '0', 11)

What should I be looking for to fix this?

The apostrophe in “can’t” needs to be escaped… if I’m reading this right.

[@outchy Member 17 years ago]

So normal users will have to escape every apostrophe they write in a post? There must be a way around that, right? I mean, I can write the word “can’t” right here…how is that?

[@livibetter Member 17 years ago]

Could be plugins. Try to deactivate (or activate?) one by one to find out which cause this.

No, they don’t. (<—- see? ) You have an issue with your installation, probably a plugin, as livibetter suggested.

[@outchy Member 17 years ago]

Yes, it was the “Admin Can Post Anything” plugin. Thanks!

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

Admin Can Post Anything will work if you remove the line that reads something like this:

remove_filter('pre_post', 'addslashes');

I had the same issue with bbsync and that fixed it. Since I used _ck_’s ACPA code, I assume it’ll work for you, too
