 * When I try to upload an image, this message appears:
 * Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: unknown option bit(s) set at offset
   0 in /home/ljviss/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 934
    30
 * This is a newly installed site…hosting is with GoDaddy, they cannot solve the
   problem.

 * – Is this a fresh install?
    – What did you do before this error showed up? – 
   What version of PHP are you using? – have you tried deleting WP-includes and 
   WP-admin and copy them back up from a fresh download. – Have you discussed this
   with your webhost?

 * If I delete WP-includes and WP-admin, should I copy them first to re-upload them?
 * I’ve tried deactivating the plugins.
