    Hi,

    I upgraded my WordPress site from 4.2.x (can’t remember the older version) to 4.3 and got an error message:

    — error message —-
    Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use

    __construct()

    instead. in /home/www/mydomain.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457

    — end of error message —

    I tried changing themes, even Twenty Ten, and upgrading all plugins and themes but error message still shows every where, on website, on dashboard, on login.

    What can be causing this error message?

    Best regards,
    Peter

    This error indicates your theme or plugin need to be updated. As a temporary work around look for define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true ); in your wp-config.php file and set that to false.

    If you look in the wp-config.php file and find that WP_DEBUG is already set to false, then please contact your hosting service, and ask them for the proper way for you to disable the PHP display_errors setting on your website. The display_errors setting is a developer mode setting, and it should never be enabled for a live website.

    That only causes the warning to not be displayed, the theme or plugin should be updated.

    Hi Tara,

    Thanks. I found it was related to the shortcodes ultimate plugin and have informed the author of the plugin.

    Best regards,
    Peter
