Hi there,
bbPress does not seem to be fully PHP-7-compatible at present after all. Running a PHP 7 checker, I encountered the following errors and warnings in bbPress 2.5.10-6063:
FILE: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/cache.php

Is there a timeline for getting these addressed?
It was a custom-developed plug-in, so nothing you would see out in the wild.
Actually – nevermind this one. Turns out this issue was caused by a different plug-in.
Problem resolved.
