 * /inc/widget.php
 * – Deprecated PHP4 style constructor are not supported since PHP7
 * I figure
 *     ```
       function wp_fanzone_recent_posts() {
           parent::__construct( 'wp_fanzone_recent_posts', $name = 'FanZone Recent Post' );
       }
       ```
   
 * should be changed to:
 *     ```
       function __construct() {
            $this->wp_fanzone_recent_posts();
       }
   
       function wp_fanzone_recent_posts() {
       	parent::__construct( 'wp_fanzone_recent_posts', $name = 'FanZone Recent Post' );
       	}
       ```
