I see this:

Deprecated: Function wpcf7_remove_shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 4.6! Use wpcf7_remove_form_tag instead. in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.php on line 529

I’m not much of a dev so I asked Chat to weigh in. They gave me this working code:

/**
 * Marks a function as deprecated and informs when it has been used.
 *
 * @param string $function_name The function that was called.
 * @param string $version The version of Contact Form 7 that deprecated
 *                        the function.
 * @param string $replacement The function that should have been called.
 
function wpcf7_deprecated_function( $function_name, $version, $replacement ) {
	if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
		if ( function_exists( '__' ) ) {
			trigger_error(
				sprintf(
					/* translators: 1: PHP function name, 2: version number, 3: alternative function name 
					__( 'Function %1$s is <strong>deprecated</strong> since Contact Form 7 version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.', 'contact-form-7' ),
					$function_name, $version, $replacement
				),
				E_USER_DEPRECATED
			);
		} else {
			trigger_error(
				sprintf(
					'Function %1$s is <strong>deprecated</strong> since Contact Form 7 version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.',
					$function_name, $version, $replacement

	}
}
