Problem with StagTools plugin
by local1970·5 years ago
Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead. in /xxxx/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5088
Apparently another plugin causes this but I can’t find out which one…
The reason is found — StagTools plugin
LOVE THIS PLUGIN!
by AlyseMitten·8 years ago
Easy to use, customize, and makes my clients’ sites look nice and neat. It’s one of the best shortcode plugins out there.
Really nice, very cool and handy plugin!

Love it – makes things real easy, and looks great.
Best Shortcode Plugin I've found
by Beka Rice·11 years ago·1 reply
Had issues with Shortcodes Ultimates on one site because of a ridiculously high number of queries coming from that plugin, and site performance was affected. Switched all sites using that plugin over to StagTools and I’m far happier for it. Buttons are super cool, the toggle (accordion) menus are very handy, and it’s easy to use while also being lightweight.
Handy and smooth
