This action fires multiple times and the parameters differs according to the context, if the old theme exists or not.
If the old theme is missing, the parameter will be the slug of the old theme.

$old_name string

Old theme name.

$old_theme WP_Theme

Callback functions attached to this hook are only triggered in the theme (and/or child theme) being activated. To do things when your theme is deactivated, use switch_theme.
