_deprecated_hook( string $hook, string $version, string $replacement = null, string $message = null )

Marks a deprecated action or filter hook as deprecated and throws a notice.


Description Description

Use the ‘deprecated_hook_run’ action to get the backtrace describing where the deprecated hook was called.

Default behavior is to trigger a user error if WP_DEBUG is true.

This function is called by the do_action_deprecated() and apply_filters_deprecated() functions, and so generally does not need to be called directly.


Parameters Parameters

$hook

(string) (Required) The hook that was used.

$version

(string) (Required) The version of WordPress that deprecated the hook.

$replacement

(string) (Optional) The hook that should have been used.

Default value: null

$message

(string) (Optional) A message regarding the change.

Default value: null
