get_term_link will always generate a deprecated notice when used on post_tag or category

[scorbaciufermecat]

Using WordPress 5.4-RC5-47533

get_category_link and get_tag_link both in the end call get_term_link which will use a filter that is deprecated for tags and categories. ​https://prnt.sc/rq00x0

I just checked for solutions online and by mistake I got on a random site that google indexed ​https://jeanbaptisteaudras.com/en/technical/ - so maybe more people that don't have error reporting set to OFF will see this. Also, as a developer I would like to have debugging ON but I keep getting this notification.

Here is the commit that did that

Thanks,

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

This is intentional behavior of apply_filters_deprecated(), it only outputs the deprecated hook message if you have any functions in your plugins or theme specifically hooked to the deprecated tag_link or category_link filter. Those instances should be updated to use term_link instead.

If you don't have any functions hooked to those deprecated filters, it returns early and doesn't do anything​.

Sorry, it's my fault. I wasn't paying too much attention to the code.

Thanks for the clarifications,
Andrei
