 * Hi — I’m trying to add a new user to our blog, but this error message keeps popping
   up:
 * The requested URL /[site]/wp-admin/(EmptyReference!) was not found on this server.
 * After rooting around the archives a little, I decided a version upgrade was in
   order. It’s a no-go, however, because my host’s SQL version is not 4.0.0 or better.
 * Are there other ways or backdoors for adding users?

 * Hi there,
 * I seem to have (EmptyReference!) all over my new 2.5 installation. I located 
   them all in the PHP files and deleted them from the code (they sit within a form
   tag) which seems to have solved the problem.
 * Don’t know how they got there though.

 * Thanks; the edit works. I don’t use GoLive, so I have no idea how the code got
   in there…
