QTranslate-XT removing compatibility functions #843
Description
QTranslate-XT is removing the compatibility functions option
qtranslate/qtranslate-xt#1461
It is a configuration option on each site that uses QTranslate-XT and is turned on but do we need it? The author of QTranslate-XT doesn't think it is used.
Here is an example:
https://www.webonary.org/test-oatley-fr/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=qtranslate-xt#integration
Deprecated.
Enable function name compatibility (qtrans_convertURL, qtrans_getAvailableLanguages, qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode, qtrans_getLanguage, qtrans_getLanguageName,
qtrans_getSortedLanguages, qtrans join, qtrans_split, qtrans_use, qtrans_useCurrentLanguagelfNotFoundShowAvailable, qtrans_useCurrentLanguagelfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage
qtrans_useDefaultLanguage, qtrans_useTermLib).
Some plugins and themes use direct calls to the functions listed, which are defined in former qTranslate plugin and some of its forks. Turning this flag on will enable those function to exists, which will make the dependent plugins and themes to work. WordPress policy prohibits to define functions with the same names as in other plugins, since it generates user-unfriendly fatal errors, when two conflicting plugins are activated simultaneously. Before turning this option on, you have to make sure that there are no other plugins active, which define those functions.
