Hi! I’m having the same problem.
I also had another plugin that was causing the same notice. Their support forum advised me to go to the widgets PHP file in my domains Cpanel and change one of the lines to the new format which they provided. Going off of that format I could probably fix this plugin as well, but Im having a hard time finding that mail poet PHP file. if anyone knows what exactly the file would be called so I can find it, I will try the new format and report back with the fix!
I use MailPoet almost every day! Hope we can get it fixed soon! right now I have it deactivated : (
I think I found the correct PHP here (search your file manager for it)
public_html/wp-content/plugins/wysija-newsletters/widgets/wysija_nl.php
although the format is different from the other plugin and Im afraid to totally mess something up if I try messing around with it since Im not that familiar with code.
We will release a new version with this fix soon.
Yep: you have the correct file. It’s just a matter of changing your occurences of
$this->WP_Widget
with
parent::__construct
I’m surprised this was not anticipated by the mailpoet team.
Make sure to update to the latest release 2.6.17, this issue is fixed!
