“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)

Video SEO is mostly a technical thing, assuming you already have video content. It offers absolutely great opportunities because it allows you to appear in the search result pages with a video snippet, which includes an image and therefore attracts far more attention and clicks then a "normal" search result.

What does your Video SEO plugin actually do? It goes through a series of steps, as soon as you update a post that you put a video in: It recognises the video and, depending on whether it's a self-hosted video or hosted on a site like Vimeo, determines what to do; If it's for instance hosted on Vimeo, it'll retrieve the video details from the Vimeo API; It'll determine which thumbnail to attach to the video and what the duration of the video is; It then saves all this metadata so that you get a video snippet in the snippet preview AND a video XML sitemap entry is generated for the post / page. It does all that on the fly, as soon as the plugin is activated you only have to add a video to a post and it'll automatically recognize it and go through those steps for you.

if you are serious about video production for your WordPress site and stand to profit from increased rankings and click-throughs, you should strongly consider purchasing Video SEO
