# Warning: printf() [function.printf]: Too few arguments

 * The WordPress SEO plugin would not update any changes to the metadata. I found
   information online from the developer explaining the fix was to change to disable
   the plugins (all accept the WordPress SEO plugin) and then change themes to the
   Twelve Twelve plugin. Then make the SEO changes to the metadata and change back
   to my original theme (Nano3 from Yootheme). I did this and it worked. However,
   when I came back to the Nano3 theme I had a warning on the top of only 2 pages:
 * Warning: printf() [function.printf]: Too few arguments in /data/24/3/17/11/3017500/
   user/3350420/htdocs/wp-content/themes/yoo_nano3_wp/warp/systems/wordpress/layouts/
   head.php on line 27
 * These are the 2 pages: [http://hawaiiee.com/solutions/](http://hawaiiee.com/solutions/)
   
   And: [http://hawaiiee.com/why-led/](http://hawaiiee.com/why-led/)
 * It is the same error. I have updated my core WordPress and all of my plugins 
   but nothing seems to help. I would prefer to resolve this issue, but I have also
   read there are ways to hide these warnings. Nothing is wrong with the website,
   it is functioning just fine, but the warning on these pages are an eyesore. Can
   anyone help?
 * Thanks!

 * Figured this out 4 hours later… From a WordPress wizard…
 * To fix, or “hide” these errors do the following:
 * Go to your host (or FTP). Go to Control Panel and then File Manager. Here you
   need to access the wp-config.php file. Download a copy and copy paste a copy 
   into a fresh notes document in case you need to revert back to the original. 
   Here you will scroll down to where you will find the following code:
 * define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
 * This code is used for debugging. You need to add this code under it:
 * error_reporting(0);
    @ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);
 * Save it.
