 * I’ve taken the following actions:
 * 1) Verified that the site is running. My test page is ‘access’ a page with some
   information.
    -> All is well 2) Enable the extension ‘Events Manager’ -> I get
   7 message pairs like this on most pages: Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed:
   nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /home/clients/27c815ff576fae5bb4bfa5e1322f2d0e/
   web/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 231 Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed:
   nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /home/clients/27c815ff576fae5bb4bfa5e1322f2d0e/
   web/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 232
 * 3) Disabled *all* plugins
    -> I still get the 7 message pairs like this on most
   pages: Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset
   1 in /home/clients/27c815ff576fae5bb4bfa5e1322f2d0e/web/wp-includes/class-wp.
   php on line 231 Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: nothing to repeat 
   at offset 1 in /home/clients/27c815ff576fae5bb4bfa5e1322f2d0e/web/wp-includes/
   class-wp.php on line 232
 * 4) Enabled the plugins again
    -> I still get the 7 message pairs like this on
   most pages: Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset
   1 in /home/clients/27c815ff576fae5bb4bfa5e1322f2d0e/web/wp-includes/class-wp.
   php on line 231 Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: nothing to repeat 
   at offset 1 in /home/clients/27c815ff576fae5bb4bfa5e1322f2d0e/web/wp-includes/
   class-wp.php on line 232
 * 5) Went to Events > Settings > Pages > Event Pages and set the ‘Display events
   as’ to ‘Pages’ (was set to ‘Posts’)
    -> All is well, no errors
 * 6) Went to Events > Settings > Pages > Event Pages and set the ‘Display events
   as’ to ‘Posts’
    -> All is well, no errors
 * Summary
    – Enabling Events Manager somehow created the problem. – Disabling all
   plugins does not eliminate the problem. – Fiddling with Events > Settings > Pages
   > Event Pages -> Display events does fix it, even with Event Manage installed
 * Somehow something happens to some data type processed in the loop in class-wp.
   php around line 23[12] when Events manager is enabled.

 * I did not touch these settings at all.
 * So they are set to the default:
 * events
    locations events/categories events/tags
 * I did play around with parameters in Events > Settings > Pages > Event Pages 
   and set the ‘Display events as’ to ‘Pages’ and the problem went away. Then I 
   set it back to ‘Posts’ and it did not came back.
 * Maybe changing this set some setting where a default was missing after the installation?

 * I just found a separate ‘interesting’ artifact: WP does not display the 404 page
   if I type a wrong URL like [http://www.domain.com/this/url/does/not/exist](http://www.domain.com/this/url/does/not/exist).
   Instead it display the two ‘pages’ I have at the moment.
 * This behavior is the same with my theme and with the WP default theme.
