PHP4 style constructor deprecated in WordPress 4.3.

[Frank]

PHP4 style constructor has been deprecated in WordPress 4.3.
As theme BuddyBoss is following PHP4 style and must be update it ASAP in order to prevent potential errors

When can we expect this to happen?

[Alyssa]

@frankwarwick we are discussing it internally and seeing how much work this will take to become compliant.

@frankwarwick I did some searching in the theme files and found we are using __construct in all of our classes within the BuddyBoss theme. Can you show me an example where we are still using PHP4 constructs within the theme?

Hi @tjchester
Good news concerning the __construct, I am following up with one of my guys who sent me an email concerning the issue to see if he has any particulars

[Alyssa]

@frankwarwick well we aren’t using __construct in ALL of our classes just those where we want to perform an action immediately when the class is called. Previously you would have a function inside the class with the same name as the function and it would immediately fire the function when the class was called. We should be good moving forward 🙂 But I’ll keep this open in case your guy has specific questions.

Hi @tjchester
As the launch of 4.3 draws near, will this update be released soon so there will be no issues. can you give me an idea of the release date please

[Alyssa]

@frankwarwick we are working as quickly as we can to clean up the issues currently developed and through testing. We will not release an update until those are complete. I was hoping to get them done this week but as issues keep popping up I don’t think it will happen until next week.
