 * Wordpress will, in 2017, move from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7, you’re using a function (
   split) that is entirely removed in PHP 7. With a lot of servers now running only
   PHP 7, will you upgrade the plugin?

 * +1 for this. I used PHP Compatibility to check my plugins, and it failed on Video
   Sidebar Widgets because of use of split.
 * Easy to fix. Just replace _split_ with _explode_ in these two files…
    -  helper-functions.php
       class-randomvideosidebarwidget.php

 * Hi,
 * I had stopped using function split.
    Updated to use iframe embed code for Metacafe.
