 * Every time I try to post or delete, I get a “Sql error” and so I can’t do anything.
   It worked before, although some plugins have been installed since. What is wrong?

 * I have uploaded a pdf of the plugins page. Also, note that some, but by no means
   all of these plugins that are currently deactivated may have, at one time, been
   activated, and settings modified. The pdf is at [http://softworksmedia.com/plugins.pdf](http://softworksmedia.com/plugins.pdf)

 * I’d be interested in knowing what the error says. Can you either give us a link
   to see it, or copy/paste it here?

 * When I try to delete a post, it disappears, and then about two seconds later,
   appears again, this time highlighted in solid red that doesn’t fade away, and
   at the bottom of the page, it just shows a white box bordered by fairly thick
   yellow bars, and at the bottom of the box (box has room for two lines), in red
   text, it says:
    SQL Error occured
 * If I try to post, I get a blank white page and the source code is free of everything
   except code to make SQL Error Occured:” in red text. Nothing else is on the page.

 * I’ve got one too:
    Anyone know what this means, or how to fix it?
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near‘

    SELECT * FROM wp_links WHERE link_visible = ‘
   Y’ AND link_category = ORDER BY link_name

 * Sorry,
    I forgot to explain – I’m in Blogroll-syndication, and trying to set 
   up RSS feeds
 * When I click “Use this feed”, it goes to a blank page, except for “Cheatin’, 
   uh)
 * Then the feeds don’t update

 * Has anyone thought of any ideas as to the cause of my problem? I was halfheartedly
   oping that it might arbitrarily go away; perhaps a problem with my host’s servers-
   but it didn’t, and I still have the problems from the first post. Thanks for 
   any help that you can give!

 * Have you tried uninstalling ALL of your plugins and then adding them back one
   by one to see if the problem is eliminated?
