   Hi,

   I have come across a very strange bug/problem, using WP 2.9.1.

   If I use 'or' in the title, for example, 'The Man or Woman', 'Is it a boy or girl?'

   After publishing the post, the post is reported as not found (404). As soon as I take 'or' out of the title of the post, it works.

   Can someone please help me and tell me why this is happening? It seems like a fundamental problem that needs to be addressed.

   I have refreshed my permalinks to in case that was causing it. But it sitll happens.

   Sheeesh - I have this exact same problem. I tracked it down to something to do with the SQL query - the "or" text is being turned into a LOGICAL OR instead of the text "or" and thats breaking the query. I just don't know how to fix it. I hope someone can help.

   SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND YEAR(wp_posts.post_date)='2010' AND MONTH(wp_posts.post_date)='2' AND wp_posts.post_name = 'man- OR-woman' AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC

   [SOLVED] At least for me I tracked the problem down to the Search Everything plugin.

   Try disabling all plugins and I bet the issue willgo away - add the plugins back in a few at a time until you locate the problem

   The bold text above would not be treated as a logical operation inside of a string literal value. It looks to me like your plugin is adding a space before the word "or", and then it can't find a matching slug with a space.

   You should also take note of the author's statement that Search Everything is only compatible up to WordPress version 2.8.5.

   haha omg, just discovered this bug today. what a pain to figure out. the problem defintely lies with search everything as when i disable it, the problem goes away.

   i'm running 2.7.1 so there goes the compatibility arguement.

   oh and it's only when there's an "-or-" in the permalink, not the title.

   [solved]

   in search-everything.php, function se_search_authors

   move line: $where = preg_replace("/\bor\b/i",$or." OR",$where,1);

   into the if block above it, so you end up with:

   if (!empty($wp_query->query_vars['s']))
   {
   $or = " OR (u.user_nicename LIKE '%" . $wpdb->escape($wp_query->query_vars['s']) . "%') ";
   $where = preg_replace("/\bor\b/i",$or." OR",$where,1);
   }

   My website comes up fine but when I hit the login hyper-text button I get the following error. I can't get into it to create more post.

   Thanks, Dale
