An error message is displayed :

The query does not contain the correct number of placeholders (1) for the number of arguments passed (2). This message was added in version 4.8.3.

Problem: I am using Wordpress 4.3.22 .

Anybody has an explanation?

NB: that message is coming from wpdb::prepare.

• This may as well be version of some plugin. – Vitauts Stočka Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 19:04
• No it's not, as it's coming from wpdb::prepare. It's strictly hard-written "4.8.3" in the 4.3.22 version of wp-db.php. – theredled Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 19:06
• WordPress 4.3 is 5 years old. You really should not be using a version that old. – Jacob Peattie Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 23:37
• @JacobPeattie WP 4.3.22 is 1 year old. – theredled Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 23:57
• A minor security patch is. You should not be 8 major versions behind. – Jacob Peattie Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 23:58

Well, this is some hasty copy/paste mistake in WP code while backporting features/bugfixes to older versions. Checked 4.3.22 code - it indeed contains version number 4.8.3 attached to this error message.
