I tried using the log deprecated notices plugin but it didn’t seem very conclusive as to … Read more

I am debugging my theme using Debug Bar plugin, which is showing me this error (among a few others): Notice: add_custom_image_header is deprecated since version 3.4!

WordPress 3.3 has deprecated the add_contextual_help() functions and it’s filters, so in order to continue supporting 3.0 – 3.2.1 and also comply with 3.3, I have done the following: global $wp_version; if ($wp_version >= ‘3.3’) { // New method add_action(“load-$admin_page”, ‘CrayonSettingsWP::help_screen’); } else { // Depreciated method add_filter(‘contextual_help’, ‘CrayonSettingsWP::cont_help’, 10, 3); } Is there a … Read more
