    When trying to create a blog post, if I try to edit it with elementor I get a message that says: sorry, the content area was not found in your page. You must call “the content” function in the current template in order for elementor to work on this page. When I look for a solution it tells me to change the theme and when I do it works, so this looks like an ocean WP problem, do you know how to fix it? I like your theme but don’t know what to do

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello, I did it but same problem, I still get the same error message
    When I go to how to fix it this is what I get, however I don’t know where to add the link or what else to do
    The Content Area Was Not Found in Your Page
    This article explains what to do if you get the message:

    “Sorry, the content area was not found in your page. You must call the_content function in the current template, in order for Elementor to work on this page.”
    What is the_content, and why does Elementor require it?

    The the_content function is a WordPress function that gets the content from the database and prints it on the screen. Given that Elementor’s content replaces the content of the page, if this function is not called for, then Elementor cannot work. Read more on the_content function on www.ads-software.com.
    The common reasons for the_content function not to be called
    There are 3 common occurrences that may be the cause why the_content will not be called:
    Sometimes the theme has a front page template that is already pre-built and does not include content from the page. This is most common on free WordPress themes.
    Custom made page templates that do not include the_content.
    WooCommerce product pages and WooCommerce shop pages that do not include the_content.
    Manual solution

    * Note – Switching to a different theme usually solves this issue. Try switching to a theme like Twenty Seventeen or GeneratePress and see if your problem is solved.

    Add the_content function into the page template’s code.

    This is the line you need to add: <?php the_content(); ?>

    If you are not familiar with where to place this code or how to add it to the page, please contact your website developer so it can be implemented properly as we cannot provide full support for that. Please note that adding this code won’t enable the editing of Archive pages and Latest Post page

    Hello, the “the_content” is already present, you shouldn’t have this issue. Can you create a pre-purchase ticket? I will need some information to help you with this.
