You are using a deprecated way to declare widgets. WordPress is anticipating on constructor being deprecated in PHP 7.0, in favour of __construct. Please refer to the Widgets API to see how widgets are constructed these days.

If the GFWidget you mention is generated by a plugin that plugin is very much outdated and probably shouldn't be used anymore.

  • Slightly odd, the two plugins are gravity forms and yoast. Both are up-to-date. Just seems a little odd that such well developed plugins are using updated methods

  • Even more strange: the source at github says the widget is already using __construct Perhaps your install got corrupted one way or the other.
