Secure WordPress Update:

A lot of popular WordPress plugins have not been properly updated for several years now, and contain deprecated code. While the plugin may seem "fine" when its activated in wp-admin, deprecated code often means that it's not functioning properly. This tends to only be noticed when you enable debug mode in the wp-config.php file.

Admin Favicon gives the following error when activated:
Code:
Notice: add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use  get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead. in  X:\...\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2638
... and once that error is addressed, subsequent errors will follow:
Code:
Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in X:\...\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2722

What Was Changed ?

... or you can make the edits yourself.

Line 535 of secure-wordpress.php contains deprecated code add_contextual_help():
Code:
if ( version_compare( $wp_version, '2.7alpha', '>' ) && function_exists('add_contextual_help') ) {
It needs to be changed to add_help_tab():
Code:
if ( version_compare( $wp_version, '2.7alpha', '>' ) &&  function_exists('get_current_screen->add_help_tab') ) {
Also in secure-wordpress.php, line 540 refers to user level 9:
Code:
else { add_submenu_page( 'options-general.php', __('Secure WP', FB_SWP_TEXTDOMAIN), $menutitle, 9, basename(__FILE__), array(&$this, 'display_page') ); }
It needs to be changed to reflect an admin capability like activate_plugins():
Code:
else { add_submenu_page( 'options-general.php', __('Secure WP', FB_SWP_TEXTDOMAIN), $menutitle, "activate_plugins", basename(__FILE__), array(&$this, 'display_page') ); }
And that's it.
