# Deprecated WP methods

 * I have enabled debug mode in my WordPress network and I immediately [received a series of warnings](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/296682/17323)
   that I managed to narrow to this plugin.
 * It seems that it is using:
    - `wpdb::escape` (deprecated in **3.6.0**) and
    - `get_current_site_name` (deprecated in **3.9.0**).
 * I know that this plugin is no longer required, but the [counter-solution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/howto-domain-mapping-without-a-plugin-instructions/)
   requires a clean install on a dedicated IP address — things that I can afford
   right now.
 * Any chance for plugin update with `sunrise.php` not using these functions?

 * > but the counter-solution requires a clean install on a dedicated IP address
 * Using the core mapping feature does not have any additional external requirements
   vs using the plugin. A dedicated IP address is preferred but not required for
   either method.

 * Thank you, but still:
 * > Step 1: Create a Multisite install
 * I need a solution that I can apply over _existing_ multisite installation.
