The Plus Addons for Elementor breaks Elementor

Hello @rcwatson,

1. Debug Log

The following code, inserted in your wp-config.php file, will log all errors, notices, and warnings to a file called debug.log in the wp-content directory.

// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
// Disable display of errors and warnings
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false );
@ini_set( ‘display_errors’, 0 );
// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( ‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true );
You can use https://pastebin.com/ and share error log link here. Based on Log we’ll check what causes issue.

2. Unused Widget Disable

If your Hosting Provider doesn’t allow a higher memory limit,You just need to disable all unused widgets from The Plus Addons and all other Elementor addons you have installed. This will reduce the need for the required memory limit as the total number of active widgets will go down.

Plus Addons for Elementor uses the removed Elementor\Scheme_Typography. It is deprecated since version 2.8.0! They should use Elementor\Core\Schemes\Typography instead.

Plus Addons for Elementor is using this
use Elementor\Scheme_Typography;
‘scheme’ => Scheme_Typography::TYPOGRAPHY_1,

instead of:
use Elementor\Core\Schemes\Typography;
‘scheme’ => Typography::TYPOGRAPHY_1,

Until they fixes this you have to manually change this or disable the plugin.

Hello @jansencws,

We have already update code as per elementor latest version.

Make sure you have used latest Free version 5.0.8 and Pro Version 5.0.10.

Please take a look at below code snippet.

Do I need to have The Plus Addons for Elementor turned on to do this, even though Elementor is inaccessible to me when it’s turned on? How will I know which widgets are unused? Is there a simple way to determine this other than going through every page and poking around to see what’s in use and what’s not?

@ankitposimyth I added the debug settings you recommended and nothing was produced in the php-error.log file. But my hosting provider surfaced this error in its dashboard:

Uncaught Error: Class 'Elementor\Scheme_Typography' not found in /code/wp-content/plugins/theplus_elementor_addon/modules/widgets/tp_adv_text_block.php:165

I found the button for scanning unused widgets and I turned off all the unused ones. That didn’t fix anything with Elementor, though. It still was in a state of freezing up and not getting to where I can edit anything.

Then I repeated disabling individual plugins and found that this time it’s the plugin named Premium Addons for Elementor that is causing the problem.

Hello @rcwatson

That means, It seems to be something from premium addons as you mentioned, When that is enabled, Issues is happening for you.

Even we know, Premium Addons also have released with all other addons in elementor ecosystem.

1. Make sure you are having all addons at it’s latest version.
2. We have doubt you are having strong caching setup, that might be culprit as well. So, Remove cache from your caching plugin as well as reach out to server provider if they have any caching from their end as well.

Hope to see your site started working smooth soon. Feel free to reach us, If you need any help.
