 * I got this error too.
 * `Strict Standards: Declaration of lctwidget_Taxonomy_Dropdown_Walker::start_el()
   should be compatible with Walker::start_el(&$output, $object, $depth = 0, $args
   = Array, $current_object_id = 0) in /srv/www/wordpress-default/wp-content/plugins/
   list-custom-taxonomy-widget/list-custom-taxonomy-widget.php on line 0`
 * I am using vvv.
 * It seems that this same error is being mentioned in at least two other posts:

 * For anyone else having this issue you can fix it by changing line 288 of list-
   custom-taxonomy-widget.php from:
 * `function start_el( &$output, $term, $depth, $args ) {`
 * to
 * `function start_el( &$output, $term, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $current_object_id
   = 0 ) {`
