Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare error

Everyone should be getting this error if they’ve upgraded. I just installed it. A quick search brought me to the site below…

PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare()

Could someone reply with exactly how we should edit the plugin? I’m not savvy enough to do it myself :-S

Quick and dirty fix :
in wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-ratings/plugin.php at line 147 change prepare to query.

@mediart thanks for the reply but that means nothing to me! Could you let me know exactly how line 147 should read? (I don’t code btw, just tinker.)

Andy – Jimaroonie, did either of you get a fix for this in the end??
Have the same problem and just want to know what line 147 should read.

$authorIDs = $wpdb->get_col($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT post_author FROM ” . $wpdb->posts . ” WHERE ID = ” . intval($postID) . ” LIMIT 1″));

@deswardo nope! Still a desirable feature though…

Rats I am now getting this error
Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/*******/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-ratings/plugin.php on line 147 and defined in /home/******/public_html/forum/wp-includes/wp-db.php

Any solution?

I replaced “prepare” with “query” and suggested but everyone’s Forum posting votes goes to zero and the voting buttons don’t work now. But the error message is gone.

No solution? This plugin is broken and needs fixing

Had the same problem. Guess I’ll have to find another plugin, I think there is no support for this one.

Hi guys,

I fixed it as follows:

Tadas – thank you! That worked ??
