    Hi guys,

    I am quite new here. We recently upgraded our DB from PHP 5.* to 7.
    My site(s) don’t run now. Looks like some constructor issue, but have no idea where / how to fix this. Here is 1 line of many errors:
    Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in LatestBlogWidget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct()
    Please help?
    Thanks.

    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)

    Change WP_Widget::WP_Widget() or {object}->WP_Widget() or parent::WP_Widget() to parent::__construct() in your plugin file.

    OR

    You can hide this kind of error by adding this filter in your functions.php

    add_filter(‘deprecated_constructor_trigger_error’, ‘__return_false’);

    If you can figure out what plugin is causing the error, make sure you’re using the latest version and, if so, contact its developers about getting it fixed.
