 * Hello all,
 * I have a WordPress blog up and running for my wife. Everything was running smoothly
   on it until she decided to add a Twitter feed this morning. She added an HTML
   widget and cut-and-pasted some HTML from Twitter. (I don’t know the specifics,
   I wasn’t there with her). Something went horribly wrong and now when you try 
   to get to the admin portion of the site, it displays:
 * WordPress database error Array for query INSERT INTO `wp_options` (`option_name`,`
   option_value`, `autoload`) VALUES (‘widget_text’, ‘a:2:{i:2;a:0:{}s:12:”_multiwidget”;
   i:1;}’, ‘yes’) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `option_name` = VALUES(`option_name`),`
   option_value` = VALUES(`option_value`), `autoload` = VALUES(`autoload`)–SERIALIZED
   made by require_once, require_once, require_once, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array,
   wp_widgets_init, do_action, call_user_func_array, WP_Widget_Factory->_register_widgets,
   WP_Widget->_register, WP_Widget->get_settings, wp_convert_widget_settings, update_option,
   add_option
 * I have checked the database settings and everything is fine (including in wp-
   config). I am a developer, but not a PHP developer and I have limited knowledge
   of WordPress. My copy is currently running on Windows Server 2008 and is being
   backed against SQL Server 2008 as well (using the 0.8.8 Beta).
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to not lose all of
   my wife’s hard work! Thanks!
 * Jim
 * I also have this question posted on wordpress.stackexchange.com: [http://bit.ly/gjYFRq](http://bit.ly/gjYFRq)
