“Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare()”
How do I fix it?
If you are seeing an error after upgrading to WordPress 3.5 that says something like this, you need to upgrade your theme.
We have fixed this with all of our themes and they are ready to download and re-install from your account page.
What if I have customized my theme’s code and don’t want to upgrade?
For those of you who have customized your theme’s code and don’t want to do a full upgrade, you’ll need to take a look at the warning message.
Here’s a sample error we have fixed from the Biznify Theme:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/mintthem/public_html/demo/wp-content/themes/Biznify/products-pagetemplate.php on line 39 and defined in /home/mintthem/public_html/demo/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990
Step 1: Open the file it tells you to open. In this case, it is products-pagetemplate.php and Go to the line it refers to. In this case it is line 39
Step 2: Find the code that looks like this: $wpdb->prepare(“SELECT price FROM $table_name WHERE item_number = ‘$item_number’;”)
Step 3: Replace $item_number with %d
Step 4: Add $item_number after the last quotation mark. Also, make sure to put a comma before it. (notice the comma before $item_number below)
Example: $wpdb->prepare(“SELECT price FROM $table_name WHERE item_number = ‘%d‘;”, $item_number)
bryan yu on 23 Oct 09Earlier I would have introduced it this "php code widget" that is a wordpress widget allows you to run php syntax, but i find another decent plugin (Exec-PHP) of wordpress these two days. Although it is also the implementation of php syntax, but its advantage is able to use in the article. if you want to use it in widget, you can fill php code in the text. There is a very simple way to install, just download it into your plugin directory and then extract file and active it so that you can add php code in the article and widget...
