 * The latest version of this plugin is throwing this error when I update categories
   and portfolio items:
    Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare()
 * Which looks like it means the plugin is exposed to potential SQL injection vulnerability.
 * Nacin has posted the fix for this at Make.WordPress.org here: [http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/12/12/php-warning-missing-argument-2-for-wpdb-prepare/](http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/12/12/php-warning-missing-argument-2-for-wpdb-prepare/)
