Hello, I was checking all my installed plugins with “Plugin Inspector” plugin and I noticed that Theme Check triggers deprecated usage of get_themes(); in checkbase.php, please try to install it and, on its setting under Plugins > Plugin Inspector, locate and click “Check it” on Theme Check. Is it safe to ignore them?

No. The get_themes() function was deprecated in WordPress 3.4, just over 4 years ago. You should not be using it.

the function is included in Theme Check plugin, of course I can modify the file but it is not reasonable. The plugin must be fixed.

Theme Check is for checking themes, not for checking plugins. There’s no reason for theme check to check itself. 🙂

If you’d like to make a patch for the plugin on github to switch it to use wp_get_themes instead, then that’s fine. But it’s not a support question about the plugin.

I think you misunderstood, I use another plugin to check yours and it found out the usage of that function, I just wanted to notify you in order to have it fixed, maybe Im just a perfectionist

We’ll add it to the list, but I’d place it as pretty low priority. 🙂
