BWP using deprecated constructor

Hi there,

That’s a known issue and will be fixed in the next version.

If you want to use the current version, you can change the following line: https://github.com/OddOneOut/bwp-recent-comments/blob/master/includes/class-bwp-rc-widget.php#L12

to

function __construct()

and it should work.

class BWP_RC_Widget extends WP_Widget
{
function BWP_RC_Widget()
{
$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'bwp-rc-widget', 'description' => __( 'Show a list of recent comments/trackbacks generated by the BWP Recent Comments plugin.', 'bwp-rc') );
$control_ops = array('width' => 350);
$this->WP_Widget('bwp_recent_comments', __('BWP Recent Comments', 'bwp-rc'), $widget_ops, $control_ops);
}

Won’t that overwrite the class BWP_RC_Widget and give me a different error

No you only have to replace line 12 (should be highlighted in the link I posted above).

I replaced function BWP_RC_Widget() with function __construct() and still get the same depreciated error message

Sorry for my late reply.

That’s weird, I’ve applied the patch and it’s working for me: https://github.com/OddOneOut/bwp-recent-comments/commit/379d9b6513d75fa455f890dcf51e2e9b6f8348f2
