 * Hi, Hoping someone could provide a solution to the following issue – using Google
   XML Sitemap and every time someone posts or I admin a message I get the following
   error messages:
 * Warning: mysql_affected_rows() [function.mysql-affected-rows]: A link to
    the
   server could not be established in /data/12/1/117/95/1117910/user/1179538/htdocs/
   blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 183
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started

    /data/12/1/117/95/1117910/user/1179538/htdocs/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php:
   183) in /data/12/1/117/95/1117910/user/1179538/htdocs/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.
   php on line 275
 * Had the guys from Network Solutions troubleshoot and they sent me the following:
 * Warning: mysql_affected_rows() [function.mysql-affected-rows]: A link to the

 * I’m not a hardcore programmer so I can’t really do a deep dive into troubleshooting
   so any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi tsnyc,
 * maybe you’re using a plugin which doesn’t use the WordPress API for database 
   access. In this case there is an option named “Enable MySQL standard mode” at
   the Sitemap plugin options page which uses a workaround for this issue. Note 
   that this way is a bit slower than the default one.
