Yeah, definitely sounds like a Joomla issue. Unfortunately, that's not something we'd be able to fix in the SCLogin module then. If you get the Joomla mod_login module to work, but not SCLogin, then we can definitely help investigate further.
As to the Joomla issue, please make sure you are on the latest version of Joomla, currently v3.6.2. There have been some PHP 7.x compatibility updates in the latest few releases. However, the 3.6.2 release can be a bit difficult to upgrade too depending on the version you are on. We even created an overview of the changes in 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 as well as a step-by-step upgrade procedure for
upgrading to Joomle 3.6.2
.
I hope that helps,
Alex
