Hero Widget Stopped Working After WordPress Update 4.8

Hi,

I had been using the siteorigin hero widget for quite a while for the home page top banner. Looks like after the new wordpress 4.8 update, it has stopped displaying. I tried all possible methods such as manually reinstalling the siteorigins widgets, clearing the wordpress cache but nothing seems to be working. The rest of the widgets seem to be working just fine.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dman
