Emacs: Lisp error: (error "Invalid face" modeline)

After upgrading to the latest version of emacs, I got this error:  'Lisp error: (error "Invalid face" modeline)'.
After a little research it came down to the modeline color command: 
 (set-face-background 'modeline "plum")
(set-face-foreground 'modeline "black")
The problem was "modeline" has been replaced with "mode-line". 
(set-face-background 'mode-line "plum")
(set-face-foreground 'mode-line "black")

Now emacs is happy, and I'm happy too.
