WordPress, Error when trying to insert data >> Notice: wpdb::prepare was called incorrectly
I have fixed this, the issue was in the way I was creating the array. I was using a multi-dimensional and needed to call the correct level of the array in the post.

Best way to search and replace within serialized database strings?
It seems WP-CLI is indeed one of the easiest ways to search/replace serialized strings, e.g. for replacing any unwanted instances of staging links: wp search-replace https://staging.example.com https://example.com –all-tables The above command will search the entire WordPress database for the first string, and replace all instances with the second string provided.

The code below should get you started, but I would advise you add some additional checks (is the email valid? are the strings too long? etc.): <?php $errors = $values = array(); if ( isset( $_POST[‘Submit’] ) ) { $fields = … Read more

Pure SQL questions are off-topic but beyond that, pure SQL is dangerous because it may break if the WordPress Core changes the database structure. You are better off using Core tools where possible.
