Unfortunately I think so. Many people are receiving the following error:

PHP Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in WPAC_Nav_Menu_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use

__construct()
instead. in [path redacted]/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3902

This plugin uses PHP4 style constructors for widgets. As a temporary fix the following changes can be made to the plugin.

Within “default-widgets.php” lines 25 – 30 should be changed as follows:

function __construct()
{
$widget_ops = array( ‘description’ => __(‘Use this widget to add one of your custom menus as a widget.’) );
parent::__construct( ‘nav_menu’, __(‘Custom Menu’), $widget_ops );

Of course with all changes run this under a development environment first to ensure that it resolves your issue before moving to live

Let me know if you find a good alternative plugin

thanks – I have actually not seen any error messages, but part of the function of the plugin is not working. I don’t have this site in a developers environment, the site is live. will that code deal with the unfunctionality problems? ie my login/logout/registration pages shortcodes are not working. I am not a php coder…but can follow directions

Do you have a problem with this plugin that needs support?

yes

Hi @einstein-green,

We have not found any issue with login/logout/registration pages shortcodes, however you may be using them differently to us.

Please let me know your URL and I would be happy to have a look

Do you have debugging turned on for your site?
To enable this change define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false ); in wp-config.php (accessed via ftp and is localed in the root of the website eg, /httpdocs or public_html ) to define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );

and then to record any errors to file add:
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );

This will add debug.log within wp-content, also accessed via ftp.
