 * Hi,
 * WordPress 4.3 got released yesterday and there is a problem with your plugin.
   The following notice is shown:
 * `Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version
   4.3.0! Use __construct() ...`
 * Could you please fix this as soon as possible, we would really appreciate it.
 * Thanks!

 * Weird. They’ve actually fixed this in v4.1.1, but, for some reason it’s not offering
   that as a download.
 * Non-technical version: They haven’t published the update properly.
 * Technical version: Looks like they’ve tagged it, updated the stable tag in the
   readme.txt, but the main .php file still have `Version: 4.1` in the header.

 * Their Widget Builder plugin also broke with the WordPress 4.3 update.

 * Plenty of them, especially woo plugins are broken with 4.3 due to widget change,
   you could fix it yourself here: [http://docs.layerswp.com/doc/notice-the-called-constructor-method-for-wp_widget-is-deprecated-since-version-4-3-0-use-__construct/](http://docs.layerswp.com/doc/notice-the-called-constructor-method-for-wp_widget-is-deprecated-since-version-4-3-0-use-__construct/)
 * or you could also try [https://wordpress.org/plugins/swifty-image-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/swifty-image-widget/)
   also free, and has ability for multiple images in one widget + couple of more
   cool options that i found.
