 * This notice appears at the top of the 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 /wp-includes/
   > functions.php on line 5234
 * Is this message about an error in wp-includes or in some obscure plugin? I know
   I don’t use contextual help on my site. Can these notices include an identification
   of where the deprecated function is?

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-One theme. If the problem goes away, 
   enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.
 * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/).
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
