 * I just upgraded a site I started working on a few days ago and now get this error
   in the Featured Image panel:
 * `Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /Applications/MAMP/
   htdocs/2011/CLIENT/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 1148`
 * I figured it was a plugin conflict and disabled them all, same problem. I then
   did a fresh install and found I get the same problem with no plugins added?

 * Have you tried:
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.

 * Yes, as I said I did a totally fresh install from scratch didn’t touch a thing,
   went to add new post, same error.

 * Was the fresh install on the same server?
    Did you destroy the database before
   the fresh install? Did you import any content post install? Did you download 
   a fresh copy of WordPress 3.3?

 * Ok so it was a fresh install on the same server but totally new database and 
   yes new download. No content was imported at all. I am running MAMP on my Mac
   where the issue is, haven’t tried on an actual web server yet.

 * > I am running MAMP on my Mac where the issue is
 * Ah – I wonder if this could be related to something in your MAMP setup? Might
   be worth asking on the Localhost Installs forum (MAMP is out of my sphere of 
   experience, I’m afraid).

 * Thanks for trying to help, yes it seems to be something specific to my MAMP install
   I just updated a site on the web server and everything is fine… weird?!

 * Running locally on MAMP wordpress 3.3.1. Fresh download, fresh database, I’ve
   developed dozens of wordpress sites without ever getting this error.
 * weird
