Several plugins still use the deprecated function.
EXAMPLE (SSN) //deprecated version add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("SimpleSectionNav");')); //7.2 ready version function ssn_register_widget() { return register_widget("SimpleSectionNav"); } add_action( 'widgets_init', 'ssn_register_widget' ); EXAMPLE //deprecated version add_filter( 'option_page_capability_' . ot_options_id(), create_function( '$caps', "return '$caps';" ), 999 ); replace with //7.2 ready version add_filter( 'option_page_capability_' . ot_options_id(), function($caps) {return $caps;},999); EXAMPLE (OZH MENU) //deprecated version add_action('admin_notices', create_function( '', "echo '$message';" ) ); replace with //7.2 ready version add_action( 'admin_notices', function() {echo $message;} );
