 == Test Report
 === Description
 This report validates whether the indicated patch works as expected.

 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/524

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.7 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Chrome 143.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-One 2.7
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * bbPress 2.6.14
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps to Reproduce
 The following steps include bbPress installation because @sooskriszta 's
 initial request was to be able to add CPTs as homepages.

 1. Install and activate any classic theme (bbPress didn't work with a
 block theme)
 2. Set Permalinks to Post name
 3. Install bbPress
 4. Add a forum (e.g. My Forum) and a few topics
 5. Assign topics to the forum
 6. bbPress forums
 7. Confirm your bbPress forum is reachable (In my test case
 http://localhost:8889/forums/forum/my-forum/ is reachable)

 === Actual Results
 1.  ❌ Issue is not resolved with patch.
 2. Error displayed on Settings > Reading page:


 {{{
 Warning: Undefined variable $post_types_allowed_on_home_page in
 /var/www/src/wp-admin/options-reading.php on line 113
 }}}


 === Additional Notes
 - Patch breaks the Reading tab of Settings
