SilverXp

I can tell you my solution that fixed everything. This solution is for Nginx (but can work with Apache after some modification).

In the configuration file I had to change this:

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

To this:

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

A simple fix for me and all my own fault. This way Elementor can handle the pretty permalinks in the backend and makes sure you don’t get any errors when you edit pages.

Let me know if it worked for you too.

I came across this topic and noticed I have the exact same issue and can’t figure out what it is.

It has to do something with A) Elementor itself (my guess) or B) the hosting environment. The developer console shows no errors.

Tested:
1. I used a standard theme (Twenty Sixteen) with all plugins activated -> error.
2. I used a standard theme (Twenty Sixteen) with all plugins disabled -> error.
3. I create a new page, edit it with Elementor, save it, publish it, exit Elementor, enter Elementor -> error.
4. I create a new page, edit it with Elementor, save it as draft, exit Elementor, enter Elementor -> success.

The workaround for now is to edit the page when in draft, save it and change the status to published. When I want to edit the page I change the status to draft and I can make the changes.

The weird thing for me is that all changes I make are saved but something goes wrong when you publish the page.

Any further help?

Hi Cory,

My username is silverxp. I’m not a regular user of GitHub, but I’ll figure it out ??

Thanks,
