 * Seeing errors when upgrading to PHP 7.2+.
 * > Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/
   > wp-posts-carousel/carousel-widget.class.php on line 382
 * Looks like you need to adjust the function to be as follows on line 382 of carousel-
   widget.class.php:
 *     ```
       function yourmodifier_register_widgets() {
       	register_widget( 'WpPostsCarouselWidget' );
       }
       add_action( 'widgets_init', 'yourmodifier_register_widgets' );
       ```
   
 * The function you used is anonymous and it really should have a name, as described
   above, so the plugin can be extended and so it complies with PHP 7+.
 * Let us know if you do that, because we’d love to use your plugin instead of our
   edited version.
