wp-includes/formatting.php – where is it to resolve htmlspecialchars() warning

    In the Pinnacle theme, the home page header graphic has this warning where the “Welcome” message should be:

    Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/content/69/6454569/html/IMARRIEDTHEWAR/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3582

    I cannot locate the wp-includes/formatting.php file in the editor. Where can I find this file and how can I remove the warning?

    Or is this possibly an issue that needs to be solved with the WordPress host?

    Thank you.

    Hi there!

    Have you tried deactivating all your plugins?

    Yes, to no effect.

    Looking at this in more detail, I’m pretty sure this is a theme issue since the warning involves wp-includes/formatting.php, which is part of the installation and not available to edit in the theme editor (I located the file on my own WordPress installation).

    I’m working on this issue for a friend who owns this site and I’m certain he has not accessed formatting.php, nor would he know where it is located on the server. I haven’t had a need to access that file on my own blog.

    However, this is the free version of the theme. It seems my options for resolving the issue on the developer’s side (in a timely manner) would be to purchase the premium version?

    If you mean a premium theme issue will get attention faster than the free version, that is a possibility, but not guaranteed. It’s possible the issue does not exist in the premium version, which would also solve your problem I suppose. If you want to try getting support for the free version it’s at

    The author appears to be responsive. Good luck!

    Silly me, didn’t realize I hadn’t sent the message and looks like somebody beat me to the punch! 🙂
