Title: Benchmark Lite Plugin problems being debugged Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Benchmark Lite Plugin problems being debugged * Resolved [skdmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skdmedia/) * (@skdmedia) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/benchmark-lite-plugin-problems-being-debugged/) * Hi, * I’m currently building a wp site offline through DesktopServer, using the Themeco Theme X. When I activate the benchmark lite plugin it seems to cause an issue. * Below is the debug error that occurs, not sure if it’s just the plugin doesn’t work with DesktopServer, or Theme X, or just something wacky is going on. I’m able to edit any php files needed, just could use some exact direction on what to do. Any help would be awesome, thanks!! * Scot * ———– * ( ! ) Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is **deprecated** since version 4.3.0!

The applicable error here is “Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use__construct() instead. in /Users/scottdouglas/Documents/Websites/www. skdmx2.dev/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3624” * That is a PHP Notice, which is considered benign. It only appears when one has a debugger plugin running (ex: WP-DEBUG mode), which is specific to development websites and would not affect Live environments. * We did actually fix this in our development version and it will go into our next release v2.6 coming up in the next couple of months. If you need the fix now, you can install the 2.6-devel from the Developers tab on the plugin page under the Other Versions heading. * Let me know if I can be of any further help, and thanks for using our plugin 🙂 * Sean * Plugin Author [Sean Conklin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanconklin/) * (@seanconklin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/benchmark-lite-plugin-problems-being-debugged/#post-7074235) * The upcoming version of the plugin has a fix for the PHP Notice (that only shows with DEBUG mode turned on). It’s in our Dev Version currently. I’ll mark this as resolved for the release of v2.6 next week.
