While the solution that hurraken posted does indeed work, it creates other issues with urls. If your website is in the format https://www.example.com, then typing example.com will just give you a blank screen. I’m unsure of any other issues it can cause.

Eran’s suggestion of turning off Magic Quotes is the best solution and it can be as simple as editing the php.ini in your root directory (or the directory the WordPress is installed, depends). If there is no php.ini, then just make one. Add the line:

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

And it should work. It depends on your host really. If you have Bluehost, then just place it in your public_html folder, problem solved.

I had the exact same problem. Disabling the “WP-PhotoNav” plugin I had installed did the trick.

Thanks so much for the advice Alex.

Thank you for this. I’ve been pulling my hair for 30 minutes over this one.

dragunoff’s fix id not work. I believe it has something to do with the hidden comment not being closed.

Txanny’s worked like a charm.

Turning on Gravatar did nothing. All it did was display the gravatar logo.
