deprecated and unsafe functions

  • Hello, I was checking all my installed plugins with “Plugin Inspector” plugin and I noticed that Jetpack triggers several deprecated function usage and unsafe warnings, please try to install it and, on its setting under Plugins > Plugin Inspector, locate and click “Check it” on Jetpack. Is it safe to ignore them?

    Thanks for reaching out!

    It looks like most of the alerts concern functions used to gather data from external sources (wp_remote_get, wp_remote_request, …). I’m afraid we won’t be able to get rid of such functions in a plugin like Jetpack, where we often need to collect data from third-party sources like Twitter, Facebook, or even WordPress.com itself.
    I also don’t think these functions present a risk, as long as you trust the source of the plugin.

    There are, however, functions that we could replace because they’ve been deprecated. I listed them all here:

    We’ll take a look and get those updated. In the meantime, you can keep using the plugin, as it doesn’t present a risk for your site.

    Thanks for the feedback!
