Deprecated WP SEO constructor call notice.

  • # Description
    With warnings enabled, WP Social SEO Booster generates the following:

    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

    # Cause
    The warning is generated by line 41 of wp-social-seo-booster/includes/widgets/vcard-widget-business.php:

    /* Creating the widget. */
$this->WP_Widget( 'widget_wps_seo_booster_business_vcard', __( 'SEO Booster: Business vCard', 'wpsseo' ), $widget_ops );

    It’s also generated by line 61 of wp-social-seo-booster/includes/widgets/wps-seo-booster-ratings-widget.php, which is comparable.

    # Fix
    Instead of $this->WP_Widget(...), the parent constructor should be invoked as parent::__construct(...):

    /* Creating the widget. */
parent::__construct( 'widget_wps_seo_booster_business_vcard', __( 'SEO Booster: Business vCard', 'wpsseo' ), $widget_ops );
