Thank you Prasant,
Im have tried the standard approach you describe, cleared all caches etc…
The error appears to be related to a single line of code common to all affected files on line 26 of each of the files highlighted in my earlier message.
This is the line of code in question, could you kindly check with the developers and advise:
setup_postdata( $GLOBALS[‘post’] =& $post_object );
Also, since clearing all caches I now see additional PHP 7.0 compatibility warnings for the bundled version of Visual Composer:
