Cannot edit _published_ pages with Elementor

    Whenever I try to edit a published page, I get the following error:

    “Sorry, the content area was not found in your page.
    You must call ‘the_content’ function in the current template, in order for Elementor to work on this page”

    This happens on all pages but the start page. When I un-publish a page I can edit it with Elementor until it is published again.

    I just did a complete fresh installation of WordPress and Elementor. I also tried different themes, but the problems stays.

    Any ideas?

    I solved this problem. There was a wrong/missing configuration setting in our nginx server.

    The “$args” parameter was missing:

    location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ index.php$args;
}

    @tisp thanks for the solution.

    will just point out (for future people : ) that there’s probably a typo

    this

    location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ index.php$args;
}

    should probably be like this (note the question mark)

    location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ index.php?$args;
}
