Elementor exhausting my memory

  • Hello,

I am running latest version of WordPress "6.4.2" with Elementor "v3.18.3" and whenever I try to save my homepage (it's kind of big - 4000+ lines of code with inspect source) I get 503 Internal Server Error.

When I checked the logs, it looks like that saving the page gets Elementor to stuck in some sort of an infinite loop and keeps on consuming all the ram I set the WordPress to use, I even tried with "-1" (unlimited) and the usage raised up to 3GB which is not normal.

How can I resolve this issue?

Regards!

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out. 

    Memory Limit Increase: Although you’ve tried setting the memory limit to unlimited (-1), it seems like there might still be a restriction. You could try increasing the PHP memory limit even further in your WordPress configuration. Locate your wp-config.php file in the root directory of your WordPress installation and add or modify the following line:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M'); // Adjust the limit as needed

    Plugins and Theme Compatibility: Sometimes, conflicts between plugins or themes and Elementor can cause issues like this. Temporarily deactivate other plugins and switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the problem persists. If it doesn’t, there might be a compatibility issue with one of the plugins or the theme you were using.

    Server Configuration: Contact your hosting provider. They might have server configurations or limitations that affect the maximum execution time, memory usage, or script timeouts, especially if you’re on a shared hosting plan.

    Hey there. Quit Elementor when you still can. They charge your credit card without your approval, and refuse to refund per their “company policy”.
