Error Message on WordPress 5.4.1

  • I am getting the following message on my WP Dashboard (for site riversideworship.net) since updating to 5.4.1:
    “Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead. in /home2/vrbcwdm/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5088”

    I believe it is being caused by Sermon Manager, as it disappears if I deactivate the plugin. Will there be an update in the future that will address this error, or is there some way that I need to fix it myself?

  • I’m not seeing this, so it must be another plugin/theme conflict.

    I’m 99.99% sure that you have theme or plugin that is on conflict with SM. I suggest switching to one of the default themes, like TwentyTwenty and disable all plugins except for SM. Enable the plugins one-by-one until you see what one is causing the error.

    I don’t see that error so it has to be one of your plugins or your theme.

    I am also getting this error and have narrowed it down to the Sermon Manager plugin.

    It says that you’re using the ‘contextual_help’ hook which has been deprecated, so I checked and you use it on line 554 of sermons.php. The error disappears when I comment out that action (lines 553-564), so it’s definitely that causing it. They suggest using get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead.

    Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead.

    PS – seeing as the message is only a ‘Deprecated’ message and not a fatal error, WP_DEBUG being set to false (or similar) might prevent it from showing.
