 * Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version
   4.3.0! Use
    __construct() instead.
 * This is the message popping up – unfortunately have had to deactivate the plugin
   in order for my site to work. I really like this plugin – I hope a fix is on 
   the way! 🙂

 * So sorry. Currently traveling – intermittent wifi and other devs not available.
   Current version on plugin will not work with 4.3 deprecated widget.
 * Upgrade coming upon return. Approx. 10 days.

 * It does seem to work, just throws an error if debug is set to true.
 * Looking forward to the update.
