Question:
(The below code is not mine) Ive been trying to get this ixl math bot to work but everytime i run it i get
AttributeError: ‘WebDriver’ object has no attribute ‘find_element_by_class_name’
Im using selenium 4.3 and the latest python version, if no one can help then at least an explanation of what this error means and how i could fix it would be appreciated,

I’m fairly new to python so I only tried a few basic things like restated PATH or double "" not a lot
its supposed to ask for username password grade and lesson link which work but after the selenium chrome windows opens and it gets gives:
AttributeError: ‘WebDriver’ object has no attribute ‘find_element_by_class_name’

Answers:
All the find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* methods are deprecated in current Selenium versions. You need to use driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, " "), driver.find_element(By.XPATH, " ") etc. methods.
