    Hello!

    I can see this warning in my WP frontend test site. Debug is activated.

    Notice: screen_icon is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /home/***/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4438

Notice: get_screen_icon is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /home/***/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4438

    Just in case you want to replace these functions. Thank you for your plugin!

    Hi Diana,

    What makes you think these warnings are from Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator? Apparently there are no reference to get_screen_icon or screen_icon in the plugin’s code.

    Hello Philippe,

    Thank you for your useful plugin. I have recently just updated a site from WP 4.9 to 5.3 and reinstalled your Favicons plugin. At the top of the plugin Favicon Settings page, I have the following notices:

    Notice: screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available.

Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available.

    These are thrown by /wp-includes/functions.php line 4651.

    I searched and found the following:
    /favicon-by-realfavicongenerator/admin/views/settings.php line 7 <?php screen_icon() ?>
    Perhaps there is the get_screen_icon code in another file.

    Can you please check.

    Hello Diana,

    Oh wow, you are absolutely right! I don’t understand how I could miss the reference to screen_icon when I looked for it a few days ago.

    The issue is completely harmless, yet it should be fixed. This is done in plugin v1.3.18, which will be released in a few days.

    Thank you for reporting this issue!

    Regards,

    Hello Diana,

    Done, plugin v1.3.18 has no reference to screen_icon. It was released a minute ago.

    Would you confirm there is no more warning message on your side?

    Regards,
