Simple Example

One example of commonly used deprecated conventions is when addon developers create widgets using methods with deprecated _ prefix. Previously, Elementor protected methods prefixed with _ but that naming convention was deprecated.

Widgets

Addon developers should update their code, replacing deprecated methods. The fix is very simple, just remove the _ prefixes:

class Elementor_Test_Widget extends \Elementor\Widget_Base {

    public function get_name(): string {}

    public function get_title(): string {}

    public function get_icon(): string {}

    public function get_categories(): array {}

-   protected function _register_controls(): void {}
+   protected function register_controls(): void {}

-   protected function _render(): void {}
+   protected function render(): void {}

-   protected function _content_template(): void {}
+   protected function content_template(): void {}

}
