Your issue (but maybe I missunderstood you) was not about this plugin and PHP 7? I this is right, I just said, that I have used this plugin with PHP 7 and didn’t had any issues..

And ENABLING DEBUG (you didn;t apparently), pukes out all the errors. * The plugin doesn’t work at all with PHP7, you believe it or not. * Sorry but spending time with ignorant people is not good.
