Simple Example

Elementor Core Intermediate

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() {}

	public function get_title() {}

	public function get_icon() {}

	public function get_categories() {}

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

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

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

}
