The reason for this is that the apostrophe gets escaped twice, first at the XML-RPC level and second via prepare when generating the SQL query. To fix this I've created a patch that calls stripslashes() on the category name before passing it to get_cat_ID()." defect (bug) closed normal 2.7 XML-RPC normal fixed has-patch
