Plugin compatibility with WordPress 4.3+

Resolved

(@mikrom)

If you enable debug mode You will see error message like this:

PHP Deprecated:  Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; randomize has a deprecated constructor in .../wp-content/plugins/randomize/randomize.php on line 30
PHP Notice:  The called constructor method for WP_Widget in randomize is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0! Use <pre>__construct()</pre> instead. in .../wp-includes/functions.php on line xxx

Can somebody fix it please?

Hi Basti @se_schwarz

Loving the plug in – got a couple of questions.

If I update it will it remove the data I have put into it?
And second, is there anyway of exporting the data out to an excel file or word document?

Awesome plugin either way this is what I’m using it for:

Hi danposmaytee,

thank you for your interest. I would like to answer to your questions.

> When you using the direct update, no data will be lost. Only if you uninstall the plugin completely, all entries will be lost.

> at this time there is no export function available. But I think, I will implement this feature soon. Stay tuned. 🙂

Thanks Basti!

Would you be able to explain how the shortcode works a little more:
[randomize category=”EXAMPLE_CATEGORY” random=”1″].

What does “Random=”1” do?

Random = 1 means, that the entries of this category will be randomly shown.
If Random = 0, the entries will be shown in an ordered sequence, one after the another

bad news:
PHP Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; randomize has a deprecated constructor in /hosting/www/xxx/www/wp-content/plugins/randomize/randomize.php on line 30
with updated version :/

Interesting. I tested the update by myself, and had no PHP warnings.

Okay, so…. this is not disadvantage at this time.
It should be done by disabling WP Debugging in wp-config.php

I will try to fix that in the next update.

Stay tuned!

I will follow it up by reading the code by hand and make it compatible to PHP7.
