 * Hi,
    On my site,I get an error.log file at root in which is noticed:
 * `WP-Members function wpmem_inc_sidebar() is deprecated. No alternative function
   exists`
 * Why?
    Please help. Regards.

 * Are you calling that function directly from somewhere (like in your theme)? That’s
   the only way I can see that you’d get this log entry. The function is no longer
   used in the plugin (and hasn’t been for quite a few years), so unless you are
   specifically calling that function directly, there is nowhere else it would be
   used.

 * Thanks for your answer.
    No, there’s no call in my theme… I don’t understand.
   Maybe with server setup ?

 * The plugin does not call that function anymore. If you’re running the most recent
   version of the plugin and you are getting (current) entries in your error log,
   the function is being called from somewhere else (i.e. outside the plugin).

 * I checked and noticed that function wpmem_inc_sidebar exists in deprecated.php,
   line 39.
    I think the problem comes from here…

 * The function exists in deprecated.php – as do all deprecated functions that haven’t
   been fully removed. This is so someone who is still using a deprecated function
   can update their install without breaking the site (this is a similar process
   to WP core).
 * But a function that is in deprecated.php has been deprecated by the plugin and
   is no longer used by the plugin itself. So the only way for this function to 
   be fired is from an external process – the plugin does not use it.
