But I still HATE Brinkster for their attitude about this, their total disregard for our situation, and general approach to their own patch-happy mistakes. * There’s a fine balance between customer service and security, and they pretty much just went way overboard on handling this one. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Brinkster updated their mysql server and I have an error.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brinkster-updated-their-mysql-server-and-i-have-an-error/) * [houmidity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/houmidity/) * (@houmidity) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brinkster-updated-their-mysql-server-and-i-have-an-error/page/3/#post-403919) * Daveh you are so The Man it’s not even funny.

Turn NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES back off until they upgrade to 5.0.22 or B.) Hurry up and upgrade to 5.0.22 instead of waiting a week to do so. * Anyone else get any reply or have news on this subject? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Apostrophes and Quotes Problem after 2.0.3 Upgrade](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apostrophes-and-quotes-problem-after-203-upgrade/) * Thread Starter [houmidity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/houmidity/) * (@houmidity) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apostrophes-and-quotes-problem-after-203-upgrade/#post-405556) * Nazgul, you are the winner!!!! Thank you so much. Brinkster is our host, so this is where the issue is. It just so happened they changed their server options without telling anyone right around the time we upgraded. * Just fired off an email to Brinkster. * Whenever we get our site working again, we’re going to have a ‘NAZGUL ROCKS’ post.

Same errors on uploading and publishing.

When I tried to activate I got a similar error. [Here’s a screenshot of the error I got when I hit Activate.](http://www.houmidity.com/images/pluginErrorScreenshot.png) * I’ve also got [a screenshot of what happens when I try to publish](http://www.houmidity.com/images/publishErrorScreenshot.png) anything with an apostrophe or quote.
