Overview

This plugin logs the usage of deprecated files, functions, and function arguments. It identifies where the deprecated functionality is being used and offers the alternative if available.

This is a plugin for developers. WP_DEBUG is not needed, though its general usage is strongly recommended. Deprecated notices normally exposed by WP_DEBUG will be logged instead.

This plugin also logs incorrect function usage, which WordPress started reporting in 3.1.

Please report any bugs to plugins in a support thread.

A depreciated call message was really ruining my day. And after scouring the site, I’m surprised how many active WordPress support threads remain open and without resolution that could be easily fixed with this plugin.

Thanks for the 5-Star plugin!
