 * I try to use the snippet approach to call information from my WP databases, using
   $wpdb. This leads to a fatal error.
    Please find below the sippet coding and 
   the error message.
 * <?php
    $posts = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT ID, post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status
   = ‘publish’ AND post_type=’post’ ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 0,1″); // 
   Echo the title of the most commented post echo $posts->post_title; ?>
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function get_row() on null in C:\xampp\apps\wordpress\
   htdocs\wp-content\plugins\php-code-for-posts\PHPPostCode.php(85) : eval()’d code
   on line 6
 * Any advice / suggestion how I can resolve this?
    Regards
