Comments on: How to fix _weak_escape() error after upgrading to WordPress 2.8 http://www.david-whitehouse.org/blog/fix-weakescape-error-upgrading-wordpress-28/ This website is home to David Whitehouse Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:31:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ana http://www.david-whitehouse.org/blog/fix-weakescape-error-upgrading-wordpress-28/#comment-1565 Ana Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:02:18 +0000 http://www.david-whitehouse.org/?p=288#comment-1565 Thank you sooo much! I recently updated WP to 3.0.4 and I couldn't publish my entries because of that error. I replaced the code as you said and it went well, it let me publish the entry but without tags because the tagging box wasn't working, what the hell? So I updated my plugins, Google Analytics for WordPress and HeadSpace2, and now everything is fine! Back to publish (tagged) entries! Thanks again! Thank you sooo much!

Go to your plug-in folder and find all calls of <code>wpdb::escape</code> and replace it with <code>wpdb::_weak_escape</code> I know it is a bit longer but it will preserve you from getting this error back one your WordPress version is updated.

I had the same problem and I love the redirection plugin, too! Another fix would be to replace the "new" wp-db.php with the wp-db.php out of wordpress 2.7.1. This also works ... Great fix.
