get_settings() is deprecated

The get_settings() function has been deprecated. It’ll still work, but please change all your plugins so that they use get_option() instead.

This would come into effect with the next release? I assume it would then not work for older versions of wp using the plugins with get_option?

I opted to check for get_option with a function_exists, first and use get_settings if get_option not found, but this seems kind of annoying, actually.

Both functions have co-existed for a very long time. You can safely just replace all instances of get_settings() with get_options() and need not worry about wrapping with function_exists(). No need to wait for the 2.1 release.

Thanks! I was just figuring that out, in going through some other (unrelated issues) plugins…

Cheers,
