This function is called is several places, for example, when rendering: - the post title: see [here](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/9e0f2faa28f1aa04a69e0b4eaa410a38adcd2e1e/wp-includes/default-filters.php#L180) - the post content: see [here](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/9e0f2faa28f1aa04a69e0b4eaa410a38adcd2e1e/wp-includes/default-filters.php#L185) * and several other places you can find by searching for `wptexturize` in the WordPress code. * To solve the issue you can use the [run_wptexturize](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/run_wptexturize/) filter or use a `remove_filter` call, for example: `remove_filter( 'the_title',' wptexturize' );` * Hope this helps solve your issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Authors Are Insecure](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authors-are-insecure/) * [Giancarlo Mosso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmosso/) * (@gmosso) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authors-are-insecure/#post-8453283) * Hello [@gadgetsay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadgetsay/), you should look for a plugin to alter default WordPress role permissions, this is an example of a plugin with good reviews, up-to-date and a lot of downloads: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/) I haven’t checked if it can remove the author’s delete permission, so I don’t guarantee it will solve your problem. * If you are a developer you can remove that “capability” (this is the WordPress name for permissions) by using the remove_cap() function. Here you can find the documentation: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities](https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities) [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_cap](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_cap) * Please share with us your solution, it will be useful for all forum users.

Deactivate that plugin, if you cannot do it from WordPress you have to manually rename the plugin folder wp-content/plugins/facebook-auto-publish to something else.

It must be that the content of your page is created directly by the template files of your theme. You should look for some file called( without the braces): page-{id of your page}.php or page-{slug of your page}.php in the root directory of your theme. There you will probably find the text of your page.

You should also check that your wp-config.php file does not contain the following two lines: * ``` define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true ); ``` * Having said that, I think you have some problems in your theme, especially in the template files for articles because by having a look at your site it seems that this error is just displayed on blog articles. * Giancarlo - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [Giancarlo Mosso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmosso/). * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [export sql file from EasyPHP (PC), import to MAMP (mac)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-sql-file-from-easyphp-pc-import-to-mamp-mac/) * [Giancarlo Mosso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmosso/) * (@gmosso) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-sql-file-from-easyphp-pc-import-to-mamp-mac/#post-8335372) * Hello Nathalie, you can upload the image in [http://imgur.com/](http://imgur.com/)( clic “New Post” in the upper part of the window) and paste here the link, it should work.

I can’t see your screenshot, please post it again or use an external service.

In phpMyAdmin you’ll select the database and choose “Export”, that creates a .sql file. Then you’ll import this same file into MAMP through phpMyAdmin packaged with MAMP.

I still think that it is a configuration problem of your hosting provider and that they have to solve it. Anyway you could try to deactivate all your plugins and switch to one of the default WordPress themes and check if it fixes the problem.

You have a problem in your system that is not configured correctly, probably the MySQL PHP extension that allows PHP to manage the MySQL database is not activated. You have to talk to your system administrators (or open a ticket if you are on a shared hosting) to fix the problem. Sorry, I cannot speak Portuguese, but if it can be of some help to you I can speak Spanish.
