  • Hi,
    These referenced lines of the code are being used for backwards compatibility, I mean these are false-positive warnings, you don’t have to worry about that.

    I’m quoting this text from the PHP Compatibility Checker page:

    Please note that linting code is not perfect. This plugin cannot detect unused code-paths that might be used for backwards compatibility, and thus might show false positives. We maintain a whitelist of plugins that can cause false positives. We are continuously working to ensure the checker provides the most accurate results possible.

    Thanks.
