# PHP Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in admin-widgets.php o

 * In admin-widgets.php on row 241 you will find this row of code:
    `add_action('
   widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("DPSP_Top_Shared_Posts");'));`
 * But create_function is deprecated. So I think this must be rewritten to:
    `add_action('
   widgets_init', function () { return register_widget("DPSP_Top_Shared_Posts");});`
