  • I have the same error. Hello?

    Yes, i just experienced the same error.

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

    Please advise as this is a fantastic plugin that I use frequently.

    I’m having the same issue as well!

    Yes, it crashed my site with WP 4.3 & I had to restore back to previous WP, then deactivate it. Too bad because I use it on other sites also. It hasn’t been updated in over 3 years & no longer supported by the developers. Anyone know of a decent replacement.

    Yes, I use this frequently. Any alternative plugins that are actually supported? I did not realize this plugin had been abandoned. With 5,000+ active users you’d think they’d update it?

    The quickest way to get the plugin working again in 4.3 is to change ‘protected’ to ‘public’ on line 73 in the file /wp-content/plugins/widget-builder/lib/tribe-widget-factory/Tribe_WP_Widget_Factory.php

    so that it looks like:
    public function __construct() {

    Is this fix secure?

    I just upgraded our website to WP 4.3, and when I installed bbPress and then BuddyPress (since I first thought the error was with bbPress), I also receive a fatal error (blank white screen when trying to view Pages, Forums, etc.).

    I was able to simply deactivate bbPress, but with BuddyPress I actually had to ftp in to back end to remove the plugins to regain access to the dashboard.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    JPD Studio: This worked great. Thanks!

    @jpd Studio: Thanks, it worked!

    For some reason menu’s like “Nieuws” and “Per Sponsor” in the top, are not working anymore on huisvandetoekomstnu.nl. Maybe it’s unrelated, I don’t know yet.

    @moderntribe, codearachnid, peterchester, jbrinley: Please update your wonderful plugin.

    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!

    Update works for me too.

    Thanks … I LOVE this plug-in and use it on every WordPress site I create!

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

    Thank you SO MUCH JPD Studio! I could not believe it when the entire site disappeared after updating. I didn’t even realize I had this plugin. I went to the server, downloaded the php file you specified, changed the line, then deleted the original and uploaded the appended file. Voila! My site is completely back. You are a life-saver.

    Thank you!
