Title: New Version Errors in Live Preview Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # New Version Errors in Live Preview * Resolved [mystyleplatform](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mystyleplatform/) * (@mystyleplatform) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-version-errors-in-live-preview/) * If I update the theme on WP 4.4 it starts kicking out these errors at the top of the page… something about using outdated functions deprecated since 4.3.0… I’m scared to update this theme to current if that’s what’s going to happen! * ( ! ) Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is **deprecated** since version 4.3.0! Use * ``` __construct() ``` * instead. in /var/www/vhosts/creatorbrand.com/public_html/wp-includes/functions. php on line 3619 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0001 247368 { main}( ) ../index.php:0 2 0.0002 250672 require( ‘/var/www/vhosts/creatorbrand. com/public_html/wp-blog-header.php’ ) ../index.php:17 3 0.0003 271768 require_once(‘/ var/www/vhosts/creatorbrand.com/public_html/wp-load.php’ ) ../wp-blog-header. php:12 4 0.0004 285776 require_once( ‘/var/www/vhosts/creatorbrand.com/public_html/ wp-config.php’ ) ../wp-load.php:37 5 0.0008 417984 require_once( ‘/var/www/vhosts/ creatorbrand.com/public_html/wp-settings.php’ ) ../wp-config.php:84 6 0.1818 34595344 do_action( ) ../wp-settings.php:392 7 0.2096 39332960 call_user_func_array()../ plugin.php:525 8 0.2096 39333136 wp_widgets_init( ) ../plugin.php:525 9 0.2106 39368888 do_action( ) ../widgets.php:1463 10 0.2116 39474968 call_user_func_array()../ plugin.php:525 11 0.2116 39475184 dazzling_widgets_init( ) ../plugin.php:525 12 0.2119 39488528 register_widget( ) ../functions.php:156 13 0.2119 39488576 WP_Widget_Factory->register( ) ../widgets.php:113 14 0.2119 39488792 dazzling_popular_posts_widget- >dazzling_popular_posts_widget( ) ../class-wp-widget-factory.php:43 15 0.2119 39490336 WP_Widget->WP_Widget( ) ../popular-posts-widget.php:19 16 0.2119 39490584 _deprecated_constructor( ) ../class-wp-widget.php:171 17 0.2120 39491104 trigger_error()../ functions.php:3619 Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [neotechnomad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neotechnomad/) * (@neotechnomad) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-version-errors-in-live-preview/#post-6974256) * WordPress cannot create the widget “Dazzling Popular Posts” which is a part of your theme, [Dazzling](https://wordpress.org/themes/dazzling/) by [Colorlib](https://colorlib.com/wp/themes/dazzling/) because there is code in the widget that is not used by WordPress anymore (deprecated). Contacting the theme’s developers on [their support forum](https://colorlib.com/wp/forums/) and alerting them of this would resolve this issue. You could paste the error there, also, as it would help the developers pin-point the problem. * Theme Author [Silkalns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silkalns/) * (@silkalns) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-version-errors-in-live-preview/#post-6974380) * [@mystyleplatform](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mystyleplatform/) * Are you sure that you are using the latest theme version as we fixed this notice before WordPress 4.3 was even released. * Thread Starter [mystyleplatform](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mystyleplatform/) * (@mystyleplatform) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-version-errors-in-live-preview/#post-6974440) * [@silkalns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silkalns/) * We are on * Dazzling theme Version: 1.5.1 * WordPress Version: 4.4 * The errors occur in Live Preview, we want to upgrade to current but are afraid it might show these errors * Thanks * Thread Starter [mystyleplatform](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mystyleplatform/) * (@mystyleplatform) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-version-errors-in-live-preview/#post-6974441) * Update: * I went forward with the update and the errors do not appear. * Updating did fix eliminate that error output on the top of the page in Live Preview and live on the site there are no errors- nice! * Looks like the height bug is in fact fixed in this version.
