Delete Pending Comments works, but with error

    After I type “I am sure I want to delete all pending comments and realize this can’t be undone” and click “Delete Pending Comments”, the page refreshes with “I deleted all pending comments!” — but just above that is this error:

    Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /wp-content/plugins/delete-pending-comments/inc/admin.php on line 73 and defined in /wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 992

    Since the pending comments were in fact deleted, should I ignore this error?

    I am running PHP 5.3.27.

  • I also get a similar warning:
    Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in wp-content/plugins/delete-pending-comments/inc/admin.php on line 73 and defined in /usr/home/visteadecuadamente.com/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 992

    I just ran this with WP4.0 and got the same warning:

    Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/caitlindean/livingliminally.com/wp-content/plugins/delete-pending-comments/inc/admin.php on line 73 and defined in /home/caitlindean/livingliminally.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1154

    My pending comments were deleted, so I voted this as compatible with 4.0

    This is normal behavior since version 3.5. To prevent the error simple remove the
    $wpdb->prepare(
    and its closing bracket ) from line 73 in file /bin/admin.php
    as this is not needed in this case.

    It should then be happy with everything including version 4.0

    Thanks! I think this worked. I mostly use ManageWP to delete comments now, but I’ve updated this plugin per your suggestions as a backup method.
