I’ve upgrade my PHP version to 7.1.8
Everything works just fine, only bbPress forum stopped working!
see the error in the debug:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800

so 3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6rc3
3. in bbpress 2.5.13 in includes/forums/functions.php
change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );

to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );

and change line 1796 from
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );

to

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

I did the 2nd choice (upgrade to bbpress 2.6rc3) and it works just fine.
Thank you Robin
