WP125 not shown after update to W4.3

same problem here.
Not loading anything at the place of ads. ??

hope author is supporting this and provide us an update asap.

I love the plugin – thanks redwall_hp! However, after upgrading to wp 4.3 WP125 does not show up in the sidebar (admin panels work fine). Hoping for timely solution ??

Me too. (Me four?)

Just updated to 4.3 and it kicked WP125 off the sidebar.

However, in the new WP CUSTOMIZE in toolbar they show, but once you exit – Gone.

Please help fix. I love wp125!

I have $1,000 of dollars of sponsors in my WP125 program who now have no ad on my pages as football season gets underway. Please get a fix on this ASAP.

Jumping on the pile here so I can see follow-up messages. Same problem.

I quit WP125 !

Given the plugin has not been updated in over a year. The update to WP 4.3 finally causes ads to no longer display.

Anyone able to provide a workaround? – Thanks

What did you use in place?

Roger – After getting zero response on WP125 I went ahead and joined AD plug @ https://www.adplugg.com. Membership is free and it was super simple to load everything and replace my widget ads. I haven’t fully explored all the possibilities but it seems like a good replacement.

tried adplugg but free plan supports only 100,000 impressions per month ??
anyone any other good simple and fast loading option?

here is the core change from wordpress 4.3 that is causing the issue:
https://gist.github.com/chriscct7/d7d077afb01011b1839d
(Plugins that use parent::WP_Widget()

anyone having quick fix from this can post here. it will be a big help.

shindevijaykr for what it’s worth, that change isn’t supposed to completely remove the widgets that still use those constructor methods, just start throwing notices/warnings.

hmm..
anyways. I started using AdRotate free version and it’s quite impressive. had some issues in implementing 125×125 banner ad group but it was addressed quickly by the author.

Just from my poking around, I suspect some WP core internal changes beyond just the constructor stuff are at play. I ended up making my own quick widget that did the same thing, but changed certain parts that seem to make it compatible and display like expected. *shrug*

Being a novice in php and widgets I made some changes in widget_class.php
I replaced :
function WP125_Widget() {
parent::WP_Widget(
‘wp125’,
‘WP125’,
array( ‘description’ => ‘Displays your ads’ )
);
}
with:
function __construct() {
parent::__construct(
‘wp125’,
‘WP125’,
array( ‘description’ => ‘Displays your ads’ )
);
}

This change brings back the WP125 ads but only in one column. It works for displaying ads of the format 125X310.

Can anybody figure out how to make the widget display two columns 125X125?
