Statistics widget throws Undefined index if no replies or topics tags

[Robin W]

If you create a new install with just one forum and one topic and no replies and add the statistics widget to the widget area then in the front of the website you get these notifications.

Notice: Undefined index: reply_count in /var/docs/server.tst/public/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-statistics.php on line 37

Notice: Undefined index: topic_tag_count in /var/docs/server.tst/public/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-statistics.php on line <i>42

I fixed this by wrapping the topic count like so.

<?php if(isset($stats['topic_tag_count'])) : ?>
    <dt><?php esc_html_e( 'Topic Tags', 'createquest' ); ?></dt>
      <dd>
	<strong>
	<?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_tag_count'] ); ?>
	</strong>
     </dd>
<?php endif; ?>

The same is repeated throughout the same file by using empty() instead of isset().

Patch created for validation

[johnjamesjacoby]

​3428.02.patch takes a slightly different approach:

• Remove the array_filter() call on the return value of bbp_get_statistics() to ensure most keys are always set
• Relatedly, adds a class to the statistics dl element to make it easier/possible to style

In 7236:

Statistics: numerous code improvements:

• Prevent PHP warnings/notices when passing specific arguments and when viewed as a user with specific capabilities
• Rename "trashed" & "spammed" keys to "trash" & "spam" respectively, to better match their status IDs
• Refactor bbp_get_statistics() to be simpler internally – includes fully updated docs
• Add unofficial support for "hidden" topic & reply statuses in statistics
• Add bbp-stats class to default template part to make it easier to target with custom styling

These changes together vastly improve the experience of using the bbp-stats shortcode.

Props createquest, hasanuzzamanshamim, robin-w.

In trunk for 2.7.0. Fixes #3428.
