    Hi,

    On October 28 Ismael helped me with two filters to prevent Google Maps and Google Maps API loading in the backend, see post https://kriesi.at/support/topic/validity-of-code-to-disable-google-maps/#post-1326839

    No complaints, that worked great.
    But today I found this warning after activating wp-debug:
    Deprecated: avf_load_google_map_api_prohibited is deprecated since version 4.5.7.1 with no alternative available. Filter was replaced by theme option in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 5596

    Is there really no alternative? Does the theme option render the same effect (no loading at all)?

    Thanks for your advice,
    Rob

    you are concerning to this code ?

    add_filter( 'avf_load_google_map_api_prohibited', '__return_true' );

    maybe that worked :

    add_filter( 'avf_load_google_map_api', '__return_false' );

    you can try this:

    function disable_google_map_api($load_google_map_api) {
        $load_google_map_api = false;
        return $load_google_map_api;
}
add_filter('avf_load_google_map_api', 'disable_google_map_api', 10, 1);

    or that:

    add_action('after_setup_theme', 'ava_disable_gmap');
function ava_disable_gmap() {
	add_filter('avf_load_google_map_api', function($load_google_map_api) {
		$load_google_map_api = false;
		return $load_google_map_api;
	},10,1);
  
	add_filter('avia_google_maps_widget_load_api', function($load_google_map_api) {
		$load_google_map_api = false;
		return $load_google_map_api;
	},10,1);
}

    Hi Guenni,

    Thanks for your help. Yes, that part of the API filter was the problem, as you suspected. Indeed this works fine, like you said:

    function disable_google_map_api($load_google_map_api) {
        $load_google_map_api = false;
        return $load_google_map_api;
}
add_filter('avf_load_google_map_api', 'disable_google_map_api', 10, 1);

    Good catch by you, I had not even noticed the filter name change. :-)
    I was baffled because it seemed strange that the filter had been deprecated within a month and without mention in the changelog. Thanks for your sharp eye and help!

    Have a good day,
    Rob

    P.S.
    Solved, can be closed.
