  Hi everyone,

  I’m facing an issue while importing a CSV file using my custom WordPress plugin. As soon as I upload the CSV, I receive the following fatal error:

  Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: mysqli_stmt::bind_param(): Argument #2 must be passed by reference, value given
  Stack trace:
  #0 /wp-content/plugins/menu-calorie-calculator/includes/database.php(83): mysqli_stmt->bind_param()
  #1 /wp-content/plugins/menu-calorie-calculator/admin/import-csv.php(65): mcc_insert_item()
  ...

  The error points to includes/database.php on line 83, where bind_param() is being called.

  Has anyone experienced this issue before? Could it be because array values are being passed directly to bind_param() instead of variables, or is there another possible cause? I’d appreciate any suggestions or examples of the correct implementation.

  For reference, this issue is occurring on my website (https://whataburgarmenu.com/) while importing menu data via CSV:

  We can’t help as that site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform nor can we help with third party plugins.

  You must contact of that plugin.
