Comment (by mixoet):

 Meta variables are undefined, because syntax of variable variables changed
 in PHP7. So if you change line 884 in wordpress-importer.php

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $$meta['key'] = $meta['value'];
 }}}

 to
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 ${$meta['key']} = $meta['value'];
 }}}

 should do the trick. Unable to test it myself.
