  • Hi @lieska,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    From the error message you shared, it seems the render_page_footer function in the Admin.php file is expecting a string argument, but it is receiving null. This issue is preventing you from editing widgets.

    Please check the following to troubleshoot:

    1. Ensure that both the Kadence theme and the PDF Embedder plugin are updated to their latest versions. The latest PDF Embedder (Lite) version is 4.8.2.
    2. Check for Plugin Conflicts by temporarily deactivating all other plugins except PDF Embedder and switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, reactivate the plugins and theme one by one to identify the conflicting element.

    I hope this helps. Thanks ??

    Hi @lieska,

    We haven’t heard back from you yet, so I’ll be closing this thread for now.

    If you still run into any issues, please feel free to reply, and we’ll take a look. 

    Have a good one ??
