 * ok, works on my test site – it could be a theme or plugin issue
 *  Themes
 *  As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
 *  Plugins
 *  If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see
   if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the
   error.
 *  If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’
   features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

 * Plugins not the problem
 * Theme not the problem
 * Health check is good with only one recommendation; PHP upgrade. Might be the 
   problem but I just don’t see how since everything else is working.

 * ok, I’m on holiday at the moment, with limited access.
 * it is possible (and equally may not be !!) that it might be a php compare issue,
   so try upgrading and come back if you still have a problem

 * ok, now back from holiday
 * that view ( [https://reformedreader.org/forum/?bbp_view=popular](https://reformedreader.org/forum/?bbp_view=popular))
   is just a view of topics, which doesn’t display numbers (on my test site).
 * I cannot replicate this for my test site.
 * Can you confirm you still have the issue?

 * Welcome back. Hope you had a restful time away. Still the same issue but it’s
   ok. Not a big concern. If you ever come across a fix just let me know.

 * I can do a fix, but need to be able to replicate the issue – which at the moment
   I can’t 🙂
