 * I am a relatively new WordPress user and I am trying to install the FeedWordPress
   plug-in. I am able to install it properly, and activate with no errors. When 
   I go to the Options -> Syndication page, however, I get the following SQL errors:
 * ————————————–
    WordPress 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 ‘WHERE cat_name=’Contributors” at line 2] SELECT cat_id FROM
   WHERE cat_name=’Contributors’
 * WordPress 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‘
   SET cat_id = 0, cat_name=’Contributors’, show_images=’N’, sh’ at line 2]
    INSERT
   INTO SET cat_id = 0, cat_name=’Contributors’, show_images=’N’, show_description
   =’N’, show_rating=’N’, show_updated=’N’, sort_order=’name’
 * WordPress 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 cat_id’ at line 1]
    SELECT cat_id, cat_name, auto_toggle FROM ORDER 
   BY cat_id ————————————-
 * As you can see, the table names are missing from all of these queries. Has anyone
   else seen this issue? Any ideas on what is going wrong? I figured I’d ask before
   I dug too deep into the code, in case someone else has a patch or something..
 * I’ve already made the changes, described in another thread here, to lines 41 
   and 44 to make the imports work.
 * Thanks!

 * It would seem the $wpdb object is not being correctly instantiated. I’m looking
   into it.
