Detect Use of Deprecated Functions?

[Josh]

Hello,

I recently updated from 3.12.6 to latest, and I noticed that the changelog included a number of deprecated functions. I searched through the code I have for templates I have overwritten and noticed that I am using a number of these functions (in particular tribe_events_the_notices, tribe_event_link, tribe_get_organizer_link, Tribe__Events__Date_Utils, tribe_event_format_date). Is there any way for me to tell which of these functions I am using in case I missed one? I would expect to get warning messages in the logs but I don’t see any.

Thanks,
Rafe

Howdy Rafe,

Good question. The deprecated functions will be logged as E_NOTICES. However, WordPress might be setup to suppress the logging of those errors. Before you can see those error you will need to set WP_DEBUG  to true. However as noted in that article you might not want these errors to be publicly visible on your site, unless it is a testing or staging site. So you might want to set “WP_DEBUG_LOG” to true and set “WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY” to false after enabling WP_DEBUG itself.

Once you have logging setup navigating around the calendar will start generating those errors. If you visit a page or do an action that involves  a deprecated function, the function name and its replacement should be in your logs.

Does that sound like a plan?

Cheers!
