“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)
Erik Emanuelli on 06 Jan 23Google E-E-A-T is the recent update to the quality rater guidelines. The most important change consists of the letter E added to the start of the popular acronym E-A-T (expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness). The introduction of the "first-hand experience" is designed to help raters better understand how Google defines high-quality content. This guide will discuss what this means for your website and how to increase your E-E-A-T to improve your SEO.
