Ah, you have that strange domain name with 4×4 and WP transforms the letter X into a multiply sign.
Search for 4×4 and you should find a fix.
why 4×4 would be an error ? i mean it’s not * it’s just a character .

it’s just a known error, with a known way of fixing it.
do the search, find the answer on how to fix it, and fix it.
Deleted
add_filter(‘bloginfo’, ‘wptexturize’);
in default-filters.php
Now it works just fine
That is a REALLY CRAZY BUG!
THANK YOU!!!
That is just weird that it does that
it’s just that wordpress views “x” as “multiply” as opposed to “*”
Actually * is not THE multiply sign. It is – &215;
It’s BS is what it is.. If it’s in the domain it shouldn’t mess with it.. 1.5 worked great for me.. well now it works but I lost my database messing around with the darn thing! So now I have to recreate all the posts!! 🙁
Hey someone remember how to get wordpress on the main page instead of /wordpress??
Actually it has been a problem in WP 1.5, too. That’s why I remembered those old posts with the complain and the fix.
Upload the files into the root folder, not in a directory. If you want to move it > Moving_WordPress.
I went this route instead. moving a copy of index.php over to the root directory and adding this line. (line 4)
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
You guys ROCK!! thank you again.. what a nightmare!
