 * I was just putting up a post when my whole blog just turned crazy.
 * This is one of the the errors I get:
    Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed:
   nothing to repeat at offset 0 in /wp-includes/formatting.php on line 648 They’ve
   all got to do with the formatting.php
 * What’s wrong? And how can I solve it! I’ve tried uploading the formatting.php
   again, but that didn’t work.
