Description

I created a category called How-to's. When accessing the how-tos page directly to view it's posts I get this error:

WordPress database error: [syntax error near 's', url = '%2Fuser%2Fcategory%2Fhow-tos%2F' WHERE username='admin'' at line 1]
UPDATE wp_useronline SET timestamp = '1139652245', ip = '68.7.207.246', location = 'My last name, My story » How-to's', url = '%2Fuser%2Fcategory%2Fhow-tos%2F' WHERE username='admin'

WordPress database error: [syntax error near 's', '%2Fuser%2Fcategory%2Fhow-tos%2F')' at line 1]
INSERT INTO wp_useronline VALUES ('1139652245', 'admin', '68.7.207.246', 'My last name, My story » How-to's', '%2Fuser%2Fcategory%2Fhow-tos%2F')



This tells me that the database is freaking out about the 's in the "How-to's" name of the category. This should not happen.

Also, I should point out that these errors go away when the name of the category is escaped by using a \ - i.e. How-to\'s - However it still shows the category listed as How-to\'s on the main page.

Cheers

Invaild. That error is caused by the Users Online plugin, it worksforme without that plugin installed. Take it up with the plugin author.

(I should point out that "How-to's" is an incorrect usage of the apostrophe anyway :))
