 * Error with new WordPress update 4.3.0
    `Notice: The called constructor method
   for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct()`
 * Please check widget.php and use __contruct() instead BhittaniPlugin_kkStarRatings_Widget
 * Thanks

 * Would you be willing to provide exact instructions… where is the file located
   and what is the exact name: I’ve done a search and found 3 files:
 * /public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/templates/link-template-widget.
   php
 * /public_html/wp-content/plugins/image-widget/image-widget.php
 * /public_html/wp-content/plugins/image-widget/views/widget.php
 * I’ve deactivated all plugins then re-activated one by one, no fix; site all messed
   up after wordpress update… Help?

 * for now just change WP_DEBUG to false, a lot of plugins is affected [List of plugin](https://gist.github.com/chriscct7/d7d077afb01011b1839d)
   and wait for plugin update

 * I`v menage to solve the problem like this:
 * In file :
 * wp-content/plugins/kk-star-ratings/widget.php
 * change this :
 * parent::WP_Widget(‘BhittaniPlugin_kkStarRatings_Widget’, ‘kk Star Ratings’, $
   widget_options);
 * with that :
 * parent::__construct(‘BhittaniPlugin_kkStarRatings_Widget’, ‘kk Star Ratings’,
   $widget_options);

 * +1 to bring this to the attention of Kamal.
 * In the meantime just apply the fix in Rumenchoo’s post yourself.

 * Same problem here, I fixed it like [@rumenchooo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumenchooo/)
   said, but it would be nice if the plugin author will solve.
