"Reinstall" WordPress. It's been made fairly easy by the WordPress people and can also be done manually (not covered here). | "Reinstall" WordPress. It's been made fairly easy by the WordPress people and can also be done manually (not covered here). | ||

The reason this is such a glaring omission on Elementor's "How to fix issues with Elementor" knowledge base is because Elementor depends (AKA dependencies) on a great number of items in WordPress. Some of those items are fairly obscure. If the items in question have been changed, moved, altered, or even deleted, they can cause some really frustrating issues with Elementor that lead down all sorts of solutions paths that don't help. | The reason this is such a glaring omission on Elementor's "How to fix issues with Elementor" knowledge base is because Elementor depends (AKA dependencies) on a great number of items in WordPress.

Fix 2 really isn't a 'fix'. It's most likely an 'un-configuration'. There are many plugins that offer performance and security improvements with most doing a decent job. One 'performance and security enhancement' area that is a bit dangerous to wander into, in regards to Elementor, is the WordPress 'Heart Beat' functionality. If the Heart Beat functionality is turned off, Elementor won't work. | Fix 2 really isn't a 'fix'. It's most likely an 'un-configuration'.

Permissions and Ownership. And in this case, permissions and ownership refers to the web server that's hosting a WordPress site. This might be a subject that's outside the realm, understanding, purview, etc. of many web site developers. But just because one doesn't understand how a toilet works or how to grow food, doesn't diminish the importance of such things. And on a side note, all of the non-wordpress stuff is worth learning about too. Anyway, permissions can cause issues in regards to how a WordPress site functions (or doesn't), beyond Elementor. Elementor may be installed and configured perfectly, but if the foundation it is standing on isn't working properly, one can't expect Elementor to work properly either. | Permissions and Ownership.
