# Errors since WordPress 4.3 – WP_Widget

 * After upgrading to WP 4.3 the message “The called constructor method for WP_Widget
   is deprecated since version 4.3.0!…..” appears.
 * If I disable the NextCellent plugin the messages disappear – I found out that
   this has to do with PHP (4->5).
 * Since I like the plugin and I would like to keep using it I post my findings.
   Can anyone help?

 * Hi suffie,
 * Thanks for reporting this. We are aware of this issue, and it should be fixed
   in the next version or so (the changes are currently under review).
 * In the mean time, if the warning bothers you, you can apply the fix to the widgets.
   In these files:
    1. NEXTCELLENT_FOLDER/widgets/class-ngg-gallery-widget.php
        Change `parent::WP_Widget('
       ngg-images', __( 'NextCellent Gallery Widget', 'nggallery' ), array(` to `parent::
       __construct( 'ngg-images', __( 'NextCellent Gallery Widget', 'nggallery' ), 
       array(`
    2. NEXTCELLENT_FOLDER/widgets/class-ngg-media-rss-widget.php
        Change `parent::WP_Widget('
       ngg-mrssw', __( 'NextCellent Media RSS', 'nggallery' ), array(` to `parent::
       __construct( 'ngg-mrssw', __( 'NextCellent Media RSS', 'nggallery' ), array(`
    3. NEXTCELLENT_FOLDER/widgets/class-ngg-slideshow-widget.php
        Change `parent::WP_Widget('
       slideshow', __( 'NextCellent Slideshow', 'nggallery' ), array(` to `parent::
       __construct( 'slideshow', __( 'NextCellent Slideshow', 'nggallery' ), array(`

 * Hi niknetniko,
    Thanks for a quick response!
 * I have edited the files on my test-site and this has fixed the issue! (The error
   messages have disappeared).
 * However it seems a new problem was introduced: pagination is not working anymore,
   and it seems (I am not sure) that the thumbnail sizes have change a little bit.
 * _Be aware: This can be caused by other reasons because I have been messing around
   with another gallery._
 * I hope this helps – in the mean time I keep using the original php files on the
   production environment until the next version (or so) will be available.

 * Hi suffie,
 * Happy to know it fixes it. Your other issues will likely be caused by something
   else, as the changes from my previous post are pure PHP-syntax related. They 
   have no effect on style, functionality or any other aspect of the site.
 * If the other issues were caused by the 4.3 upgrade, that’s another thing. Should
   that be the case, please make a separate post about the issue.
