Thank you, both.
In terms of feedback I am currently experimenting with Front End PM but have the usual concerns that the developer hasn’t updated it for eight months nor tested it with recent WP versions.
That’s not to say it doesn’t work of course, but it might not be futureproof.
BP Better Messages may be a better option in the longer term. Last updated 18 minutes ago as I write.

Just an update to say query No1 is resolved too.
Many thanks indeed.
Best regards,
John
Robin – you are an absolute gem! No2 sorted in a flash!
I will confirm on item 1 as soon as somebody posts something fresh.
Best regards,
John
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. It wasn’t helped by the formatting going funny on me.
1. It wasn’t displaying as I thought it should – I wasn’t sure if that was by design or not! But I have gone to dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes as you suggest. I don’t see an option for “latest” reply but have activated “Fix Last Active Time” which will hopefully do the trick? I won’t be able to tell on that, as you say, until somebody posts something.
2. If you follow this link:
About this web site
the top topic, “Feel Welcome” is the one that appears compressed and isn’t using the full width.
Best regards,
John
Blimey, Robin – you said a couple of days. Time flies!
Once again a BIIIIIG thank you.
John
Hi again, Robin,
I have found the conflict. It is:
“Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP)”
Not for me to criticise or condemn anything – I’m just naming it here in case anybody comes up against the same problem.
Best regards,
John
I am known to make mistakes! Maybe I did something wrong.
The bad news is that my super-dooper moderator (who I admit I did ask to test things to death before we open the site to the masses) has now discovered he gets that same error messages when trying to merge topics.
The fix in BBstylepack is still activated so it seems that isn’t a fix for everything.
I’m not sure if I should be asking for more help from you as the impression I get is that another plugin is causing a conflict. And looking at your snippet code it looks to me as if that is for splitting topics only. But I thought I should make you aware.
Meanwhile I will start disabling plugins and see what gives.
John
Best regards,
John
Welllllll . . . blow me sideways!
So embarrassing that I hadn’t dug that deep into the bbpstylepack settings.
All now working. Thank you VERY much for your time on this.
Best regards,
John
Hi Robin,
Those that relate to BBpress are:
Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha
bbP private groups
bbp style pack
bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages
bbPress Messages
bbPress Unread Posts v2
LoginPress – Customizing the WordPress Login
WP User Avatar
I’m sure your next suggestion will be to disable them all, which I am happy to do if necessary, The forum is not publicly visible yet. I was just hopeful the OP may have already found the problem 🙂
Let me know if that’s the direction you would like me to go.
Best regards,
John
Thanks for the quick response, Robin.
I am afraid I still get the same message – “A variable mismatch has been detected.”, with PHP7.1.
I added this using Code Snippets.
John
Chuckie, did you find a solution?
I read on the linked thread that reverting to PHP7.1 (I was previously on 7.3) would fix it, but it doesn’t for me.
My combination is now WP v5.4 and PHP 7.1.
John
