 The Wordpress importer plugin fails to import menu items at all with PHP 7
 (any WP version). It's a pretty quick fix, though.

 I noticed this as part of writing a fix for the importer on wp-cli:
 https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/2545#issuecomment-199026539

 But it was noticed by others, a couple months ago, and a fix provided:
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importer-fails-to-import-menu-items-
 in-php7?replies=6

 Since PHP7 has now been officially released for a few months, we're going
 to see more and more PHP7 installs pop up.

 To sum it up:
 wordpress-importer.php on line 798
 Change:
 $$meta['key'] = $meta['value'];
 To:
 ${$meta['key']} = $meta['value'];
