# formatting.php error – cannot change header graphic

 * I’m helping a friend and their installation of the Pinnacle theme shows this 
   message over the header graphic where it should show the “Pinnacle” title text(
   or the page title):
 * Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /
   home/content/69/6454569/html/IMARRIEDTHEWAR/wp-includes/formatting.php on line
   3582
 * I have deactivated all plug-ins to no effect. I suspect I need to add or delete
   something in formatting.php. My friend has not made any changes to that file (
   nor would he know where to find it), so I suspect it’s either an installation
   issue or a coding issue in formatting.php.
 * He is hosting with Godaddy, and there was an issue earlier that he said only 
   Godaddy tech support could resolve. This leads me to think it might be an installation
   issue, but any assistance will be appreciated.
 * Thank you.

 * Just to add, I’ve also activated other themes and this error only appears in 
   the Pinnacle theme.
