I threw it to my host support team and they sorted it out for me ??

Hi Jose,

Thanks for commenting. I had previously tried to search out parent::WP_Widget() in plugins and themes to no avail. That’s not to say it’s not there – I just cant find it.

If I do – should i remove it / replace it with something else?

The theme is avada so I would be very surprised if it was a problem with the theme – I may need to drop in the updated version of the theme via FTP

I’ll keep giving it a go and if I work out the solution – I’ll report it back here

Having the same problem here. I’ve turned on debug if anyone wants to have a look – https://zipporah.co.uk/wp-admin

Initially i get this ‘cookies are blocked…’ message which ive tried to resolve – to no avail. And then if you enter in a username / password (shows regardless of whether you enter in the actual login info or any old mumbo jumbo) debug data is showing

The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use
__construct()
instead. in /home/sites/zipporah.co.uk/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457 Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use
__construct()

I went to line 3457 and the data reads (line starts on 3457 here as ive noted)

if ( WP_DEBUG && apply_filters( ‘deprecated_constructor_trigger_error’, true ) ) {
if ( function_exists( ‘__’ ) ) {
trigger_error( sprintf( __( ‘The called constructor method for %1$s is deprecated since version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.’ ), $class, $version, ‘

__construct()

‘ ) );
} else {
3457 here trigger_error( sprintf( ‘The called constructor method for %1$s is deprecated since version %2$s! Use %3$s instead.’, $class, $version, ‘

__construct()

‘ ) );

I also tried renamed every plugin file as some people on other threads have mentioned but that didn’t work either. Any one able to help me on this.
