If you do not you can ask your provider to update them for you (they should do it free of charge). The slider works just fine and you will see it after the hosting updates.
Updating your PHP version not only required by Wordpress, but also adds more security to your website being more hack proof then the older ones.
I had the same problem as you (exposed code, exactly the same as in your attached screen shot).
What worked for me, that I comment out some code that handling cache. Go to your FTP - themes/handyman/inc/widgets/widget-main-slider and open widget-main-slider.php file. Comment 28 to 31 lines and your problem will be solved at least for now :)
Also there is one more bug related with main slider widget. If in widget you select to show only one post (Appearance -> Widgets), widgets crashes and doesn't load at all.

Hi Angel,
Please check with your hosting provider that you meet actual wordpress requirements of PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.6.

Hi Angel,

Below is the code that need to be comment out.
if ( isset( $cache[ $args['widget_id'] ] ) ) {
echo esc_attr( $cache[ $args['widget_id'] ] );
return;
}
Also there is one more bug related with main slider widget. If in widget you select to show only one post (Appearance -> Widgets), widgets crashes and doesn't load at all.
Thank you very much leva
We did the extensive testing and it indeed was the problem with caching.
We are making an update in 24 hours with all the widgets fixed.
