Hi There,
When we upgraded to the latest version of WordPress and EventEspresso, we started receiving php error codes. Did a little digging and found that the code base for EventEspresso need to be updated to avoid an security breach. I have typed out the error message from our site here:

Warning:Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /nfs/c06/h06/mnt/175135/domains/….com/html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-2012/includes/process-registration/add_attendees_to_db.php on line 329
………….. wp-db.php on line 992

This is related to this:

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

http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/12/12/php-warning-missing-argument-2-for-wpdb-prepare/

See link above. If this code is not patched, there are severe security risks for site.

includes/process-registration/add_attendees_to_db.php on line 329 in the current version of EE is:

'end_date'				=> $end_date,

Are you on EE 3.1.27.P ?
As a side note, we provide a quick link on the right side of the screen where you can notify us of a potential security breach without making that potential publicly available. Publisising a potential security breach before giving us an oportunity to patch it puts all users of EE at risk.

Thanks. Didn’t realize the side link for security. You can delete this post if you like for now.

I’m not sure what to do with this

includes/process-registration/add_attendees_to_db.php on line 329 in the current version of EE is:
<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”>1 'end_date' => $end_date,

Are we pasting “<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”>'end_date' => $end_date,” into the php at line 329?

We advise updating to the latest version of Event Espresso instead of trying to patch the older version.

Is the latest version .35P in the WordPress Plugin channel yet? We refreshed several times but did not see the upgrade message show up for the Plugin on the Plugin page.

The latest version of Event Espresso (currently 3.1.35) is always available from your account page.

Please update manually, it may be that the version you are using did not have one click updates at that point.
