_deprecated_class( string $class_name, string $version, string $replacement =  )

Marks a class as deprecated and informs when it has been used.

Description

There is a ‘deprecated_class_run’ hook that will be called that can be used to get the backtrace up to what file and function called the deprecated class.

The current behavior is to trigger a user error if WP_DEBUG is true.

This function is to be used in the class constructor for every deprecated class.
See _deprecated_constructor() for deprecating PHP4-style constructors.

Parameters

$class_namestringrequired
The name of the class being instantiated.
$versionstringrequired
The version of WordPress that deprecated the class.
$replacementstringoptional
The class or function that should have been called.

Default:''
