 * Hello,
 * Thank you for this nice plugin!
 * After the update to WordPress 5.4 we get a message in all /wp-admin pages:
 * `Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()-
   >add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead. in /home/nevma/
   blog.nevma.gr/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5089`
 * After searching for `contextual_help` in our installation, the only place where
   it is mentioned is the WP Better Emails plugin. If that is so, is it possible
   to create a fix/update for this?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi there, this will fix it:
    change line #82 in wpbe.php from `add_filter( 'contextual_help',
   array( $this, 'contextual_help' ), 10, 3 );` to `add_action( 'add_help_tab', 
   array( $this, 'contextual_help' ), 10, 3 );`
 * I reported this on github:
