 * Hi Pär,
 * Since upgrading to WordPress 4.9, we started getting this deprecated function
   notice. It should be relatively easy to fix.
 * [20-Nov-2017 11:22:43 UTC] PHP Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version
   3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /home/xxx/example.com/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 3840
 * I have also sent you an email with more details.

 * same here, but if you choose to set the debug mode to false, these notices won’t
   appear, but that’s not a solution to the problem

 * I have actually fixed it before 1.5, by removing the code in the plugin. Version
   1.5 didn’t fix it, I thought the author might have spotted it. The plugin has
   been abandoned, based on the GitHub repository.
 * [@eskapism](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eskapism/): Can I take over the
   plugin and update it?

 * It doesn’t look like the plugin is abandoned, since it was updated in January
   2018.
 * The call is on line 1228 of functions.php. While the error is minor, it’s annoying
   and that line can safely be removed.
