    Hi, I’m using this snippet but I discovered that create_function() is deprecated. I have not found a solution to fix the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    if ( !current_user_can(‘administrator’) ) {
    add_action( ‘init’, create_function( ‘$a’, “remove_action( ‘init’, ‘wp_version_check’ );” ), 2 );
    add_filter( ‘pre_option_update_core’, create_function( ‘$a’, “return null;” ) );
    }

    Hey,

    Yes, create_function() has been deprecated and it’s not recommended to use it in newer versions of PHP.

    Fortunately, PHP 5.3 and later includes a better feature called anonymous functions. You can read more about them on the PHP documentation, but here’s an example of your code converted to use an anonymous function:

    if ( ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
	
	add_action( 'init', function () {
		remove_action( 'init', 'wp_version_check' );
	}, 2 );

 
	add_filter( 'pre_option_update_core', function ( $a ) {
		return null;
	} );
}
