Causes white screen of death upon updating to WP 4.3

    With WP_DEBUG on this is the error message:

    Fatal error: Access level to Tribe_WP_Widget_Factory::__construct() must be public (as in class WP_Widget_Factory) in /nas/wp/www/cluster-42301/amizade/wp-content/plugins/widget-builder/lib/tribe-widget-factory/Tribe_WP_Widget_Factory.php on line 76

    To get around this, I changed that file a bit, including:

    Line 35 from:

    private static $instance = NULL;

    to:

    public static $instance = NULL;

    And line 72 from:

    protected function __construct() {

    to:

    public function __construct() {

    However if anyone else follows along with that, I’ve not tested it thoroughly, but it did get my widgets back and stopped the white screen of death from happening.

    Thanks for this. Hoping the developers come out with an update. Did not realize this plugin had been basically abandoned. Any other plugins out there like this one that are actually supported?

    Modern Tribe has a pretty great support team, I think it’s just that the plugin hasn’t needed any updates, not so much that it isn’t supported.

    Could use one now though, I’ve been testing across a bunch of sites and the changes above seem to be a-okay, but maybe Modern Tribe will have a better / different solution.

    This all seems to stem, too, if anyone’s interested, from updates to WordPress core and how widgets are handled.

    Thanks for this workaround. We were able to recover from a similar problem using this. There was a plugin update (v1.6.2) published today but it did not address this issue.

    The recent plugin update fixed the issue for me. I was able to successfully upgrade to WordPress 4.3 without any issues. Thanks Modern Tribe!

    If you haven’t already, leave a positive to review for this plugin since we all use it so faithfully.
