Thanks for dropping by, and thanks for a great plugin! And yes, I can imagine how difficult it must be to maintain a plugin as versatile as yours and keep it compatible with WordPress through its various iterations.Once again, thanks for the efforts. And of course I'm sure all your users are glad to hear that you were able to fix the conflict with the ugly links redirect. Ah, a word from the plugin author and SEO master himself!

]]> Comment on SEO Plugin Boo-Boo by Joost de Valkhttp://jeffchappell.com/blog/seo-sitemap-plugin-booboo/#comment-175 Joost de Valk Sun, 12 Jun 2011 11:22:01 +0000 http://jeffchappell.com/?p=1065#comment-175 Thanks for the post :) In 0.4.2 you should be able to check the permalink redirect box again, as the incompatibility within the plugin (d0h) is fixed. Upgrades like these are painful, but necessary to get to an end result that I know will survive several WordPress versions and years, although I have to admit this one was particularly painful :) Thanks for the post :) In 0.4.2 you should be able to check the permalink redirect box again, as the incompatibility within the plugin (d0h) is fixed.

However on your own site I noticed that according to the error message it is something in the search.php file on your site -- this would be one of the files that your current theme uses -- that has the problem with apostrophes.Have you tried reproducing the problem with a different theme? If you load a different theme -- say the WordPress default, and you can't reproduce the problem, then at least you'll have narrowed down the cause considerably.Let me know what you find out; I'd be curious to know. And thanks for commenting.Jeff Hi Chris,

That’s an interesting problem — the first thing I did was try a search term with an apostrophe on my own sites, but didn’t encounter any problems. However on your own site I noticed that according to the error message it is something in the search.php file on your site — this would be one of the files that your current theme uses — that has the problem with apostrophes.

Have you tried reproducing the problem with a different theme? If you load a different theme — say the WordPress default, and you can’t reproduce the problem, then at least you’ll have narrowed down the cause considerably.

Let me know what you find out; I’d be curious to know. And thanks for commenting.

It’s not the white screen of death, but I have a single quote issue that’s fouling things up for me.

On my site (http://www.runhundred.com) the search works fine–for the most part.

But, if anyone searches for a post with an apostrophe (like Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner) the search not only fails to find the post, but also gets this error:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

Any ideas on how to fix this?
