I encountered a SQL syntax error in CoAuthorsPlus plugin when running a WP-CLI command wp co-authors-plus assign-user-to-coauthor. The error message is as follows:

[11-Jul-2024 04:19:32 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '','page)' at line 1 for query SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_author=270 AND post_type IN (post','page) made by...

The problem lies in the SQL query construction in co-authors-plus/php/class-wp-cli.php at line 238. The code currently is:

$post_types = implode( "','", $coauthors_plus->supported_post_types() );

$posts    = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author=%d AND post_type IN ({$post_types})", $user->ID ) );

This results in an SQL syntax error because the post_type values are not properly enclosed in single quotes in the IN clause.

Proposed Fix:

// add single quotes
$posts    = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author=%d AND post_type IN ('{$post_types}')", $user->ID ) );

I hope this issue can be resolved quickly.

Thank you!

I’m getting recently this error, after using Database Optimizer ?

Company recently bought this plugin, and all is fine, but one thing. This error popped up:

Any help would be appreciated.

I followed the advice on this post:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/need-help-deleting-tens-of-thousands-of-posts/

I used this to delete the meta data and it worked:

DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id in (SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE ID BETWEEN 10866 AND 38059);

But I’m having an issue with the removing the posts.

I used the code in that thread:

DELETE FROM wp_posts where ID GE 10866 AND ID LE 38059;

It brings up an error:

#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ‘GE 10866 AND ID LE 38059’ at line 1

I can’t seem to figure out the correct syntax to make it work.

Can someone please let me know the correct syntax?

Much thanks in advance!

I have used UpdraftPlus before with no issue, however I’ve recently had to wipe my laptop and wanted to put copies of the websites I’m working on on my computer to use with localhost/wampserver. All was fine with the transfer except when uploading the database into phpmyadmin. Here is an error I received for one website:

#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘evl_options-transients’, ‘a:3:{s:14:”changed_values”;a:1:{s:15:”evl_css_content”‘ at line 103

This particular website is running on a child theme of the Evolve theme.

I’ll also add that I then downloaded the database via my cpanel, made the necessary url and database name changes and uploaded it locally with no hassle. So, I wonder what the above error refers to and why it only happened with UpdraftPlus?

Thanks
