    Hi Team,

    Not sure what you have changed in the latest version but getting the following error:

    [08-Dec-2023 09:30:58 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Function Redux::setOption is deprecated since version Redux 4.3! Use Redux::set_option( $opt_name, $key, $option ) instead. in /homepages/16/d4297805553/htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6031

    I have a few 100+ of these generated since the update. Any suggestions to remove this is welcome :).

    Regards

    Contact the theme author and suggest they update the API we deprecated over five years ago. Ample time was given for them. We’re enforcing it now. Or disable WP_DEBUG.

    Good luck.

    Hi Kev,

    Thank you for getting back to me. I have leased this with the theme/plugin developer that this effects and they have disregarded that its an issue and I should ignore any warning from this plugin.

    Should I worry about this? What are the security issues if they don’t update their API?

    I cannot see anything wrong at the moment but surely when you have an error from a plugin you purely rely on you would have thought they would update this to make sure everything works as expected.

    What would be the worse case if issue did arise?

    Sorry for all the questions. Just need to make sure they are on the same page and take my findings seriously. More so as I paid for their services and feel its got issues that are being ignored.

    Thanks

    You would think developers would care more about the products they take money for. Many don’t. I don’t understand the logic.

    To answer your question, there are no security issues. We take security very seriously and will patch Redux straight away if we find one or one is reported to us. To put it into perspective, the messages you are seeing are not errors, per se. They are deprecation notices (or, as WordPress likes to call them, ‘doing it wrong’ messages). They’re nothing to worry about.

    We updated our API in 2018 when we released version 4 of Redux and sent out a mass mailing to developers it was in their best interest to update their API, so it could be removed in a future version. Many either didn’t get it or disregarded it. It’s not a difficult effort. A quick ‘search and replace’ of code will fix it within minutes. We added the deprecation notices last year as a nudge to get them to move it along. Five years is plenty of time to take a few minutes to update code. We even have a web page dedicated to it (https://devs.redux.io/guides/other/migration-guide.html).

    The worst case scenario? None for the foreseeable future.
