Hello,

I ran the PHP 7 Compatibility test against bbPress with the following results. Be nice if they could be fixed so I can use bbPress with PHP 7.

FILE: /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php

bbPress compatible with PHP 7 and HHVM

The warnings you see are from a 3rd party library, these issues would only affect you if you are importing forums from another forum software package.

You can see our Travis CI PHP 7 tests here: https://travis-ci.org/ntwb/bbPress/jobs/147321446
(We don’t have 100% code coverage yet but we are progressing nicely)
