There is no way you can run (install) 1.6.0.14 on a PHP 7 server without changing the code yourself. Even if you had the latest version: 1.6.1.24.
The fact is that PrestaShop 1.6 is very outdated, and the PrestaShop company categorically does not want to make any updates to this outdated branch, because all its efforts are directed to PrestaShop 1.7. This was announced by the company officially. Therefore, do not rely on any updates other than those related to critical security bugs.
In order for you to still be able to run (install) your PrestaShop 1.6 version on a PHP 7 server, you will need to fix dozens of compatibility issues with your PHP 7 version. , the more you need to fix compatibility issues in your code.
Solution: stay on the old hosting with your old PrestaShop and, at the same time, plan to upgrade to PrestaShop 1.7. There is also a fork of PrestaShop 1.6 - Thirty Bees with its own innovations and new backward compatibility issues. In this FAQ, I wrote about it, the issue of upgrading and usage. You can also take part in the survey on whether you need PrestaShop 1.6 supportcommunity due to the official end of support by PrestaShop. Benefits of the survey are listed there.
