It seems you have custom code in one of your dropdown elements (Advance or Options tab) which is not PHP7 compatible.

Thanks for your replay, you were right. It was in option tab, I selected eval as yes and pass a default value as 2. I don't understand why this cause the problem.

In suboption I want the one with Value number 2 as a default, I activated there but I don't remember why also let it in option tab as PHP function. Maybe it is not necessary.

Thanks again.

If you just need the value 2, don't enable 'eval', as trying to evaluate '2' as PHP code will produce an error. It may have worked in earlier versions of PHP, but won't any more.

To be valied PHP it would have to be ...

return 2;

-- hugh

Good to know, it is clear to me now. I do not know the syntax in general of PHP, I changed the server from PHP5 to PHP7 because Joomla required it. Thank you very much for your help, now it's working again.
