Advanced Example

A common example of deprecation is the managers registration process in Elementor 3.5. In this instance, many registration methods and hooks have been standardized and simplified using intuitive naming conventions.

Widgets

When registering new widgets, we renamed the action hook name and the registration method:

function register_new_widgets( $widgets_manager ) {

	require_once( __DIR__ . '/widgets/widget-1.php' );
	require_once( __DIR__ . '/widgets/widget-2.php' );

-	$widgets_manager->register_widget_type( new \Elementor_Widget_1() );
-	$widgets_manager->register_widget_type( new \Elementor_Widget_2() );
+	$widgets_manager->register( new \Elementor_Widget_1() );
+	$widgets_manager->register( new \Elementor_Widget_2() );

}
- add_action( 'elementor/widgets/widgets_registered', 'register_new_widgets' );
+ add_action( 'elementor/widgets/register', 'register_new_widgets' );

Controls

When registering new controls, we renamed the action hook and the registration method. We also removed the control name argument:

function register_new_controls( $controls_manager ) {

	require_once( __DIR__ . '/controls/control-1.php' );
	require_once( __DIR__ . '/controls/control-2.php' );

-	$controls_manager->register_control( 'control-name', new \Elementor_Control_1() );
-	$controls_manager->register_control( 'control-name', new \Elementor_Control_2() );
+	$controls_manager->register( new \Elementor_Control_1() );
+	$controls_manager->register( new \Elementor_Control_2() );

}
- add_action( 'elementor/controls/controls_registered', 'register_new_controls' );
+ add_action( 'elementor/controls/register', 'register_new_controls' );
