 * Hello,
 * I installed WordPress 3.5-RC4 on my test site and noticed the following missing
   argument error:
 * Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), \wp-content\plugins\dynamic-widgets\classes\
   dynwid_class.php on line 654 and \wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 990.
 * I just want to give you a heads-up before 3.5 is officially launched.
 * Thanks.

 * I wound this too. I updated line 990 in wp-db.php.
 * `function prepare( $query, $args) {`
 * Becomes
 * `function prepare( $query, $args = "" ) {`

 * [@brayne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brayne/), although I believe your
   solution will work, I think it is better to change the plugin and don’t mess 
   with the WP internal files.
 * Changing line 654 in wp-content/plugins/dynamic-widgets/classes/dynwid_class.
   php from:
    `$count = $this->wpdb->get_var($this->wpdb->prepare($query));`
 * to
    `$count = $this->wpdb->get_var($this->wpdb->prepare($query,""));`
 * also does the trick, but in a nicer way.

 * I updated the plugin today to 1.5.4 seems that the issue is fixed in that version.
