get_current_theme is deprecated

get_current_theme is deprecated since version 3.4! Use wp_get_theme() instead ( https://wordpress.org/search/wp_get_theme ). Since I dont know the date this class was posted, I would advise all students to turn ON debugging and log errors to debug.log to catch these kinds of errors.

I don't understand. I'm using get_current_theme now to display the options page. It's right there. I know this post is a year old and the course even older but has this issue fixed itself in that time? I'll switch back to wp_get_theme() in any case. :-)
