The tool includes two composer commands:

The plugins code is scanned from wp-content/plugins folder.

Scan new deprecated code

Update the version of elementor in composer.json file to version you want to scan.

For scanning deprecations in Elementor Pro, add it via composer, follow the instructions.

Then run:

composer update
composer scan:source

Scan only Elementor or Elementor Pro

The scan commands will scan by default both Elementor and Elementor Pro (if added).

For scanning only one of them, add the plugin name to the command, for example:

composer scan:source:elementor
composer scan:plugins:elementor-pro

Scan deprecated code in plugins from WordPress.org
