Elementor Errors and How to Solve Them Easily
If you have been using Elementor for a while, you must have encountered some common elementor errors. However, how can you solve them if you don’t know what the solution is?
Here we will discuss the most common elementor errors and solutions that Elementor site builders experience. Using some simple instructions, you will learn why these errors occur and how to resolve them quickly and easily. Check it out.
- Elementor Blank Page Errors
When you are trying to edit with Elementor, you might get a blank page due to a lack of WP memory. Make sure your website meets Elementor’s system requirements.
How can we fix it?
- Contact your hosting company and request them to increase WP memory for your website.
- If that does not resolve the issue, then you can try this troubleshooting procedure. To configure, go to Dashboard > Elementor > Settings. Select the Advanced tab and enable the switch editor loader method and see if it resolves the issue.
- In some cases, it can happen because the URL in the back-end is different from the one in the front-end. Make sure that this is not the scenario
- Try deactivating any Elementor addons or other plugins to see if that helps.
2. Elementor is rendering a grey page while editing
You may be experiencing a grey page due to a plugin conflict.
How can we fix it?
- The solution is to deactivate the plugins one by one (except Elementor and Elementor Pro) and identify which one is causing the problem. Deactivating Elementor add-ons may also help.
- A browser extension might be the cause of the issue. To double-check, try opening Elementor in a different browser.
3. Elementor error – can’t edit page
There are two reasons why you may keep getting redirected to the live page when you attempt to edit a page: Plugin conflicts or memory problems.
How can we fix it?
- If it’s a memory issue, you should contact your hosting company and request that they increase the memory limit for your website.
- To fix this problem, deactivate each plugin one by one (except Elementor and Elementor Pro) and determine which plugin is causing the issue.
4. Unable to see changes in Elementor
There will be times when you make changes and the styling does not appear when you publish it. This can be due to caching.
How can we fix it?
- You can easily correct this, go to WP admin > Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS & Data. Then you can clear the cache (WP cache and browser cache) and reload the page.
- If you use any caching plugins or server-side caching on your site, make sure they are active. Remove those caches.
- Clear your browser cache or visit the site in a private/incognito window.
- There may be an issue with the theme. Change to the default theme for WordPress such as Twenty Sixteen and if that solves the problem, contact the developers of your theme.
- By using another page builder along with Elementor, this can override any changes you make to the content and hence it stops from displaying the changes. This can be resolved by saving the template and adding it to a new page.
5. Elementor’s Publish/Update button isn’t working
There can be a problem where the publish button doesn’t work, and like most of the issues, the cause is a lack of memory.
How can we fix it?
- The WP memory limit can be increased to meet the minimum requirements for running Elementor. Though it’s possible to do it yourself, it’s preferable to talk to your hosting provider to get it resolved.
- It can sometimes happen when an admin-ajax script time out. You can check if there are any error messages on your console by pressing F12. If you find a message which says “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 413”, then add the following directives to your .htaccess file to increase the dynamic timeout.
<IfModule mod_dtimeout.c> <Files ~ “.php”> SetEnvIf Request_URI “admin-ajax.php” DynamicTimeout=150 </Files> </IfModule>
- This can also be caused by parameters set on your server. The solution is to add an SSL certificate to your website. You will then need to change the site’s URL in Elementor > Tools > Replace URL from your WP Dashboard.
- If you get a 403 error when you try to update the page, it means you’re using a security plugin. To solve this out, activate the learning module of the plugin or contact their support.
6. Elementor 500 error
It is likely that the 500 errors are server issues, and you can fix them yourself. In order to figure out what the problem is with your server’s error log, you need to check the 500-error log of the server.
How can we fix it?
- Usually, the memory limit is the cause of this problem. The memory must be set to at least 128MB to meet the Elementor requirements. Contact your website’s hosting provider and ask them to increase the PHP memory limit.
- You can deactivate your plugins (except Elementor and Elementor Pro), any Elementor Addons and change your WordPress theme to a default theme such as Twenty Seventeen to rule out a conflict with a third-party product.
7. Having trouble loading Font Awesome icons
Many WordPress sites experienced “font awesome icons aren’t loading” issues after the major update of Elementor 2.6.5.
How can we fix it?
- Make sure all add-ons and plugins you are using for elementor are compatible with the most recent version of Font Awesome.
- To resolve the issue manually, go to WP admin > Elementor > Settings > Advanced Tab. In the Advanced Tab, you must select “Yes” next to the Load Font Awesome 4 Support checkbox.
