    I just tried upgrading my old WP site (https://davesink.com) and when I did, I get this message when trying to log in:

    Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/53/32/3003253/web/wp-content/plugins/category-icons/category_icons.php on line 1047 and defined in /home/53/32/3003253/web/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1246

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/53/32/3003253/web/wp-includes/wp-db.php:1246) in /home/53/32/3003253/web/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171

    I have a backup of the site from before the upgrade, but I’d like to be able to upgrade at some point.
    Any ideas what this message means and how I can fix it? Thanks!

  • Have you tried disabling the category-icons plugin? I think that’s what causes the error.

    Problem is the plugin Category icons. Access the filesystem of your website, navigate to Plugins and rename category-icons to something else e.g.xx-category-icons

    Thanks for the quick responses, Bryan and staartmees. I’ll give it a try and report back.
    Also, every post has a huge amount of space before the content. We’ll see if the Category icons plugin is responsible for that as well.

    Perfecto! That did it.
    Thanks to both of you!
