GC Testimonials – Using PHP 4 Style Constructors

    Hi, I am seeing GC Testimonials and GC Testimonials Recaptcha on the list entitled:
    Important Notice for WordPress Plugins Using PHP 4 Style Constructors at this link: https://gist.github.com/chriscct7/d7d077afb01011b1839d
    The 1st paragraph at this link states:
    “The ability to use PHP 4 style constructors is getting removed from PHP. Without an update, many plugins will eventually no longer work (this is PHP breaking this backwards compatibility, not WordPress)”.

    Can you tell us when GC Testimonials will be updated or is there an easy fix that end-users can do? I will need step-by-step instructions if I need to do it. :-).

    Thanks much!

    I learned that the code that needs to change in the plugin’s php file, testimonials.php is:

    $this->WP_Widget( 'gc-testimonial-widget', __('Testimonial Widget'), $widget_ops, $control_ops );

    and replace with

    parent::__construct( 'gc-testimonial-widget', __('Testimonial Widget'), $widget_ops, $control_ops );

    The code is around line 725. Just an FYI, those are 2 underscores before construct and the second ( which you’ll want to know if you type it in manually. :-). And as always, backup your site before making changes and make the changes at your own risk.

    The change worked perfectly for me!
