Hey guys,

I get a 500 error after the latest update:

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /var/www/vhosts/<url>/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800
Stack trace:

ln 1800 looks like this:

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );

// Default to public status
if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

could be fixed by forcing the array:

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );
if (!is_array($post_stati)){
    $post_stati = array($post_stati);
}

// Default to public status
if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
    $post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

side note: wp version 4.7.4, bbpress version 2.5.12

Thanks in advance,
Toby
