Obviously this makes it easier to locate deprecated functions. Found this through wp-hackers mailing list. I’m going to test this out right now.

This is a great idea! I’m using a heavily modified theme which was originally built for a previous version of Wordpress. Tooling around one day, I saw a couple of deprecated calls and wondered how many more lurked inside. This should help me get back on track.

Thanks!

Rob — 500 is a pretty generic server error — it basically just says that there was an error.

Is it possible for you to look at your server’s PHP log and see what exactly failed? Without more info there’s not much I can do.

If you can’t something else might help…

It might be a conflict between my plugin and another plugin — that is, the two of them cause the error together. (Maybe another plugin causing a lot of deprecated calls or something?)

So if you would, please try to following: Deactivate all plugins, then just activate mine, and see if the error persists. If things are working, reactivate the other plugins and we should know roughly where the conflict is.

Stephen,
I’ve discovered that the plugin causes my server to throw a 500 internal server error but only when posting comments to posts which already have a number of comments (say 10). The comments are actually posted but the user is faced with the server error screen.

I spent a happy half hour reactivating all my plugins until I could confirm which one was causing the problem. I hope you have some insight into the problem because I’ve been finding it a useful tool.

Awesome. The ability to log to the database and view the results in the admin section was the only thing keeping me from using this one. I very quickly found and fixed three plugins and a few bits of my theme using deprecated code. Lovely.

It should work for any call to a function that is marked as “deprecated” by the WordPress programmers.

So yes, themes too.

If you want to test it, just put a get_settings() in your theme.

[Update: I edited the page to explicitly mention theme design.]
