Important Notice for WordPress Plugins Using PHP 4 Style Constructors

The ability to use PHP 4 style constructors is getting removed from PHP. Without an update, many plugins will eventually no longer work (this is PHP breaking this backwards compatibility, not WordPress)

One of the more common uses of the PHP 4 style constructor (as opposed to PHP 5 style __construct() ) are plugins with widgets calling WP_Widget::WP_Widget() and/or parent::WP_Widget() and/or {object}->WP_Widget()

Note: Starting in WordPress 4.3, regardless of the PHP version in use on a server, WordPress will throw a deprecated notice when one of the PHP 4 style constructors is called specifically for widgets.

Basically instead of doing these:

/**
 * This code requires one additional filter param to be added to edd_sl_license_response in EDD_Software_Licensing.php:
 * $response = apply_filters( 'edd_sl_license_response', $params, $download, $data)
 */

/**
 * Allows EDD to bypass the name check for files
 */
define( 'EDD_BYPASS_NAME_CHECK', true );

Installation

To install, you need to have the WordPress i18n library on your computer. Check it out using SVN:

sudo svn co http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/tools/trunk/ /usr/lib/wpi18n

You don't have to put the library in /usr/lib/wpi18n, but if you don't put it there, make sure to set the $WP_I18N_LIB environment variable in your .bashrc or .bash_profile file (with no trailing slash):

export WP_I18N_LIB="/path/to/i18n/lib"
