Elementor Editor Out of Memory after switching to HTTPS

  • So quick background before you kind people start telling me to try this and that.

    I had my site up and running fine before switching over to https, all plugins were working in harmony and I had no issues with 500 internal server errors either, the whole website was working fine and I was about ready to go live, so I made the switch the https.

    Upon doing so I had a few problems which i fixed by updating all my site urls, replacing all database entries that included http with https, used the inbuilt replace urls tool that comes with elementor, regenerated CSS, installed a SSL content fixer, I’ve read a ton of stuff accross the web related to this and followed all of them to no success.

    Only way I’ve been able to fix the elementor editor not loading is by disabling some plugins, smart slider 3 and woo commerce upload files seem to be the main 2 that cause the problems, having them both active or just active one at a time, makes it impossible to use elementor. Yet before this change over i had all my plugins working perfectly together!

    So i have run a debug and found this error in my debug.log:

    [20-Jan-2019 15:28:18 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 141643776) (tried to allocate 11726848 bytes) in /home/sites/autoprint.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/editor.php on line 711

    I checked line 711 in editor.php and found:

    echo ‘var ElementorConfig = ‘ . $config_json . ‘;’ . PHP_EOL;

    I just find it hard to understand why i am getting these memory issues now, when before i changed to https i was having no problems? I mean i think I have made every step necessary to insuring my website made the switch to https correctly, but now I am stumped and have looked online for the last few days and found nothing but loose ends…

    …Apart from reading about adding a few lines of code to my websites .htaccess file to insure all traffic goes to https instead of http. I have added this code as instructed on numerous different guides and found that my site sometimes loads but all the styling is completely off? Maybe that has something to do with why i am getting the 500 internal error?

    Any help would be appreciated

  • I just took a lot of my plugins out and really speed up my Elementor Editor. Memory seems to be a sensitive area. Just curious about what is your system memory? Is your PHP memory at least 256? As to why this happened, you may have been right on the edge of memory and the HTTPS stepped over.

    Thanks for the comment.

    Yeah i am starting to think this is a memory issue, i have placed a info.php file in my ftp and checked it in my browser to find my memory is only set to 128MB, so I will be in contact with my host provider tomorrow to see if they can up it to 256MB and hopefully this will fix the problem.

    So what you’re saying is, with the added HTTPS running through my site, it is causing extra memory to be used which is breaking the elementor editor from starting when i have too many plugins active?
