After updating to WordPress 6.6, you’re experiencing issues with Elementor’s editor not loading and encountering “Preview can’t be loaded” errors. To address this, consider the following steps:
- Check System Requirements: Ensure your server meets Elementor’s system requirements, including PHP version and memory limits.
- Increase Memory Limit: Low memory can hinder Elementor’s performance. Increase the memory limit to at least 256M by adding define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); to your wp-config.php file.
- Resolve Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate all plugins except Elementor and Elementor Pro to identify potential conflicts.If the issue resolves, reactivate plugins one by one to pinpoint the culprit.
- Switch to a Default Theme: Temporarily change your theme to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-One) to determine if the Hello theme is causing the problem.
- Enable Safe Mode: activate Elementor’s Safe Mode to troubleshoot without interference from themes or plugins. If the editor loads in Safe Mode, a conflict is likely present.
- Adjust Editor Loader Method: In Elementor settings, navigate to the Advanced tab and enable the “Switch Editor Loader Method” option. This can resolve loading issues. citeturn0search2
- Clear Cache: Clear your browser cache and any server-side caching mechanisms to ensure you’re loading the most recent versions of scripts and styles.
- Review Browser Console for Errors: Inspect your browser’s console for error messages that could provide insights into the issue. Right-click on the page, select “Inspect,” and navigate to the “Console” tab to identify any errors.
If, after these steps, the problem persists, consider reaching out to Elementor’s support team for further assistance.
