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

__construct()

instead.

..\wp-content\plugins\qtranslate-x\qtranslate_widget.php
Line 32: $this->WP_Widget('qtranslate', __('qTranslate Language Chooser', 'qtranslate'), $widget_ops);

should be:
$this->__construct('qtranslate', __('qTranslate Language Chooser', 'qtranslate'), $widget_ops);

I installed the plugin today and I am getting the error message for the same reason:

 Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0! Use <pre>__construct()</pre> instead. in \wp-includes\functions.php on line 3457

Using WP 4.3-RC2-33619 and QTranslate-X 3.4.3

For the moment I did a manual fix, using suggestion indicated above, but the message is truly annoying.

Same as @Rootion the quick fix works one of my sites. Error only seems to print on debug_log on.

This has been taken care of in qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x#230. WIll be released in 3.4.5.

Ergo, qTranslate-X 3.4.4 that's currently pushed through wordpress.org is NOT 100% compatible with wordpress 4.3 as is "claimed by author". Above fix still solves issue though.

Yes, sorry, a few imperfections have been discovered and fixed by now. Could you test the latest version from GitHub, or this pre-release https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/releases/tag/3.4.5, which is currently the same as the latest, and most likely will be published on WordPress? Please, let us know if you find any problems on your sites. Thanks a lot!
