 * Visual Form Builder is a great plugin, but it now needs to be updated to be fully
   compatible with WordPress 4.3
 * Activating this plugin gets the following message:
 * **Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version
   4.3.0! Use**
 * __construct()
 * instead. in C:\vhosts\dd764\ussltr\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3457
 * The notice does not show up on production sites, but when developing a site locally,
   this message at the top of every screen is a pain.
 * Thought you’d like to know this if you didn’t already.
 * Keep up the good work.
