 * In the latest WP I see this error message related to Alpine PhotoTile:
 * `Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version
   4.3.0! Use __construct() instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457`
 * Seems it’s coming from `gears/plugin-widget.php` on line 17.
 * `$this->WP_Widget($bot->get_private('domain'), __($bot->get_private('name')),
   $widget_ops, $control_ops);`
 * should be
 * `$this->__construct($bot->get_private('domain'), __($bot->get_private('name')),
   $widget_ops, $control_ops);`
 * Please fix this in the next version to ensure the plugin will continue to work
   with WordPress.
 * Thank you and thank you for the outstanding plugin!
