    Deprecation notice for Elementor

    Hi — I use your plugin and a scan (via the free Update Guard plugin) flagged some WordPress deprecations in it. Sharing in case it’s useful for a future update. These are calls to APIs WordPress has retired; left in place they can cause warnings, silently-broken features, or (for removed hooks/files) fatals.

    Findings (3):

    • [MEDIUM] wpmu_new_blog (Hook)
      Retired in 5.1.0.
      Replacement: wp_initialize_site.
      Silent — the callback simply never runs, so a feature quietly does nothing.
    • [LOW] get_theme (Function)
      Retired in 3.4.0.
      Replacement: wp_get_theme( $stylesheet ).
      Deprecated — still works for now, but slated for eventual removal.
    • [LOW] .error() (jQuery)
      Retired in 5.6.
      Replacement: on( “error”, … ).
      Still works — WordPress ships jQuery Migrate, which keeps this name alive (with a console warning).

    Environment: WordPress 7.1, PHP 8.5.3.

    (Reported by a site owner using the free Update Guard plugin.)

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing this detailed report with us! We really appreciate the time and effort you took to run the scan and provide us with these findings. Feedback like this is incredibly helpful.

    Since these deprecation notices are directly related to the plugin’s codebase, the best place to report this is on our official GitHub repository so our development team can review it and implement the updates in future releases.

    Would you mind sharing this exact same report with our developers there? You can open a new issue here:
    https://github.com/elementor/elementor

    In the meantime, I will also share your report internally with our R&D team just in case, to make sure it’s on their radar.

    Thank you once again for your amazing support and for helping us make Elementor even better!

    Best regards,
