 * WordPress 4.3 deprecated PHP4 style constructors in widgets.
 * This theme is throwing notices because of non-updated constructors:
 *     ```
       ( ! ) Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0! Use <pre>__construct()</pre> instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457
       ```
   
 * Could you get them updated? See this for more information: [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/02/deprecating-php4-style-constructors-in-wordpress-4-3/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/02/deprecating-php4-style-constructors-in-wordpress-4-3/)
