 * I’m getting this error on the create new post page after upgrading to the beta.(
   latest nightly as of 5/3/04):
    `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 'ORDER BY meta_key,meta_id' at line 4] SELECT meta_key,
   meta_value, meta_id, post_id FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = ORDER BY meta_key,
   meta_id This error is showing up in the custom fields box at the bottom of the
   screen. Yes, I did run the upgrade script. How do I correct this error? Oh yeah,
   this error doesn’t show up when I am editing a post. Only when creating new post.

 * I am getting the same error. This upgrade also seems to have been broken the 
   Waypath hack I had managed to get working :/, or maybe some other coincidence
   broke it. Guess I’ll wait for it to become a plug-in.

 * Yep, me too. Seems like it’s a general problem then. Maybe a new nightly will
   solve it?
