    Hi!
    WP-dTree is amazing: has wonderful features and no deprecated and unsafe code.
    Great thanks for this Ingenious plugin!!!

    But PHP7 differs from PHP5.6 and after upgrading to PHP7 I received in debug.log:

    “PHP Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; WPDT_Links_Widget has a deprecated constructor in …/wp-content/plugins/wp-dtree-30/wp-dtree-lnk-widget.php on line 2”.

    Is it bad or I should not pay attention to this?

  • Hello
    find this line in wp-dtree-lnk-widget.php

    class WPDT_Links_Widget extends WPDT_Widget{	
	function WPDT_Links_Widget(){				
		$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'wpdt-links', 'description' => __('List your links in a dTree.', 'wp-dtree-30')); //widget settings. 
		$control_ops = array('width' => 200, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'wpdt-links-widget'); //Widget control settings.
		parent::__construct('wpdt-links-widget', __('WP-dTree Links', 'wp-dtree-30'), $widget_ops, $control_ops); //Create the widget.		
		
	}

    replace it with 

      class WPDT_Links_Widget extends WPDT_Widget{	       
    function __construct()
    {
		$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'wpdt-links', 'description' => __('List your links in a dTree.', 'wp-dtree-30')); //widget settings. 
		$control_ops = array('width' => 200, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'wpdt-links-widget'); //Widget control settings.
		parent::__construct('wpdt-links-widget', __('WP-dTree Links', 'wp-dtree-30'), $widget_ops, $control_ops); //Create the widget.	
    }
 
        function WPDT_Links_Widget()
    {
        self::__construct();
    }
