Error After Upgrade to PHP 7.1 - Missing Initializers

[blankdistrict]

Compatibility with PHP 7.1 can easily be fixed by adding a couple of initializers in /includes/forums/functions.php

Add initializer to line 1800:

$post_stati = array();

And line 1855:

$meta_query = array();

Thanks for the report. This is fixed for 2.6, and is a duplicate of #3031.

Appreciate you taking the time to create this ticket though!
