Getting deprecated function notices

Change line 146 to this:

	  $new_excerpt_more = function($more) {
		  return '...';
	  };

Then change line 150 (now line 152) to this:

	  $new_excerpt_length = function($length) {
		  return $excerpt_length;
	  };

Hello,

I did what you have said here, but I receive a new error then:
Notice: Undefined variable: excerpt_length in
wp-content/plugins/ultimate-posts-widget/ultimate-posts-widget.php on line 150

Can you help out with that?

Thanks.

Yep there’s a typo in this, the lower one should read:

         $new_excerpt_length = function($length) {
		  return $new_excerpt_length;
	  };

Okay, now I get an error again:
Notice: Undefined variable: new_excerpt_length in /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-posts-widget/ultimate-posts-widget.php on line 150

So what am I doing wrong?

What is the latest version of php the pugin runs with?

Sorry, thought this was for a different plugin, I don’t know

@zsujoker You have to tell the function to use the variable from the parent scope. The earlier answer is partially correct, but this form of the function works:

$new_excerpt_length = function($length) use ($excerpt_length){
        return $excerpt_length;
      };

I submitted a pull request to the plugin developer to fix it, hopefully he’ll update it.
