 * 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.

 * 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.
