Thanks Samuel for spelling it out. Handing someone bunch of stuff as if to say “here, you figure it out” as was done earlier never gets anything done very quickly or well.

After some deep Googling, I found a Dutch site that addressed the Inove issue by adding 6 characters to the footer.php code.

I will still stay at 3.4.2 due to other reported major issues with 3.5, however, and there are no real security issues presented by not upgrading at this stage.

In the event others are seeking this out for Inove, here is the fix. Chrome will translate the page in question, but use the non-translated page for the code:

Find the line:
$post_datetimes = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT YEAR(min(post_date_gmt)) AS firstyear, YEAR(max(post_date_gmt)) AS lastyear FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date_gmt > 1970″));

Replace with:
$post_datetimes = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT YEAR(min(post_date_gmt)) AS firstyear, YEAR(max(post_date_gmt)) AS lastyear FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date_gmt > 1970″, null));

Actually, pasting in , null after 1970″ is all that is needed.

I figured out how to fix it: revert to 3.4.2. All is well with the world again. When it’s WIDELY reported that WP finally has things working again, I’ll upgrade.

One of these days, all the tech heads will figure out the vast majority WP sites are NOT run by fellow tech heads. OK, well, maybe that won’t happen. But WE just want stuff to work. We have other stuff to worry about.

I’ll mark this resolved, even if it isn’t.

Yes, I’ve seen that. That advice is for developers. I simply want to stop display of the PHP error until (or if) the author fixes it. I am not a WP guru, but could likely patch it if I knew where in the wp-config.php to insert that line of code: @ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);

Apparently, hundreds of thousands of sites were affected (and not in a good way) by 3.5 in various ways.
