    Hello,

    I am experiencing an intermittent issue while using Elementor. Below are the details of the problem:Problem Description:

    Occasionally, my website homepage fails to load properly, and the server logs show the following error message:

    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_component() on null in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/api.php:129
    Stack trace: 0 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/api.php(85): Elementor\Api::get_site_key() 1 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/api.php(178): Elementor\Api::get_info_data()

    • The issue occurs intermittently. Sometimes the site works fine, but at other times it throws this error.
    • I have cleared both the browser cache and site cache, but the issue persists.
    • Both WordPress and Elementor are updated to their latest versions.

    Configuration Details:

    • WordPress Version: 6.7.1
    • Elementor Version: Free Version
    • Theme: Houzez
    • Server Environment: PHP 8.1.31, Nginx

    Steps Taken:

    1. Cleared all caches (Elementor cache and browser cache).
    2. Ensured all plugins and the theme are up-to-date.
    3. Switched to a default WordPress theme to check for theme conflicts.

    Assistance Needed:

    1. Is there a solution or recommended steps to resolve this error?
    2. Are there any tools or methods I can use to further investigate the root cause?
    3. Should I disable any experimental features (like Element Caching or Optimized Markup) to troubleshoot?

    Thank you in advance for your support!

    I’m experiencing the same issue.. besides the error:

    • PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_component() on null in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/api.php:129

    We’ve been experiencing also the following:

    • PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/themes/abeto/index.php:15

    The strange part is that we did not do any change in the website in the last 3 months, so it makes me think that we might be suffering an error from a recent updated plugin.

    Any idea about it? Could you solve it in your side @matt1207?

    Thanks!

    Hi, I also have the exactly same trouble.

    I found a solution to this issue. After investigating, I came across this discussion on the Elementor GitHub repository: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/29582.

    The problem is likely related to using the Developer Edition of Elementor. If you’re experiencing this error, switching to a stable release of Elementor should resolve the issue. You can follow the instructions provided in this link to revert from the Developer Edition to a stable version: https://elementor.com/help/revert-to-release-from-developer-edition/.

    This resolved the issue for me, and I hope it helps others facing the same problem. ??
