 * It is not compatible. You can manually fix the problem:
 * Line 884 of wordpress-importer.php is:
    `$$meta['key'] = $meta['value'];` and
   needs to be: `${$meta['key']} = $meta['value'];`
 * PHP 7 changed the order of operations of variable variables.

 * Today we released version 0.6.4 of the WordPress Importer which includes a fix
   for this issue.
