 * I have just migrated my WP site and managed to solve the various problems on 
   the way. Then at WP’s direction I upgraded my PHP to 7.01, now the following 
   error appears on the Log-In page, and on the Dashboard, as well as at the top
   of the published page (except Home):
 * Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors
   in a future version of PHP; WP_Categories_to_Tags has a deprecated constructor
   in /data/11/0/134/20/949835/user/980166/htdocs/wpsilverfly/wp-content/plugins/
   wpcat2tag-importer/wpcat2tag-importer.php on line 31
 * I am not sure how to solve this and would appreciate some direction.
    Many thanks
   John

 * According to [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcat2tag-importer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcat2tag-importer/),
   that plugin hasn’t been updated in 4 years and seems to be abandoned by its developers.
   You should disable/remove the plugin.
 * You can do that by deleting the directory `wp-contents/plugins/pcat2tag-importer/
   via FTP or your hosting control panel’s file manager app.
