preg_match() error

  • Good morning helpful people. I was mucking about trying some new plugins this morning,and am now receiving the following error when trying to edit/add new posts or pages:

    Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘/’ in /mydomain.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 204
    Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘/’ in /mydomain.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 204

    They repeat 14 times, then the appropriate page displays below the errors.

    Things I have already tried:
    -disabling all plugins
    -reverting to one of the default themes
    -overwriting the class-wp.php file from a clean install via FTP

    Any thoughts?

    It doesn’t seem to be impacting functionality (yet), but it’s frustrating, and I don’t know what problems it might cause that I can’t see yet.

    Hi CapFlint

    Try:
    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder from a fresh download of WordPress. by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders first on your server.
    Read the Manual Update directions first.

    Do you have WP_DEBUG enabled?

    I enabled WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG DISPLAY, and am now showing this additional error:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /mydomain.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php:204) in /mydomain.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178

    I will try the manual update now (after reading the instructions)

    I’ve done the manual upgrade as described in the Codex, and the same problem remains (including the Cannot modify header information error).

    What permalink structure do you have? (wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks)
    Do you get the warnings if you set it to default?

    How strange. That seems to have done it. I haven’t changed the permalinks since I first set up the site.

    <shrug> Ah well, whatever works!

    Thanks kessiemeijer!
