Hi @jidwictut9,

I see that you’re using the Download Manager and Shortcoder plugins, both of which are third-party plugins.

While we’re unable to provide direct support or control over third-party plugins, I recommend reaching out to the support teams of these plugins. They can assist you in ensuring compatibility with the latest version of Elementor and resolving any issues you may encounter.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Kind regards,

Yeah, this isn’t any issue with the plugins we both mentioned. It’s an issue with the menu slug that Elementor is using for the settings page as it obviously conflicts with other plugins that use the same (or similar) slug.

Elementor is using a generic menu slug for the settings page – /wp-admin/admin.php?page=settings

To stop conflicts (and potential future conflicts) with other plugins, you should be using something like ?page=elementor_settings which then follows a similar naming convention as your other menu items. A pretty major oversight on your end if you ask me.

Hello,

before the update to version 3.21.0 the link was:
**wp-admin/admin.php?page=elementor
Which is now the new home page.
Now the link is to the settings:
**wp-admin/admin.php?page=settings
Why is the link not as written above for example:
**wp-admin/admin.php?page=elementor-settings
That would be clearer!

Update:
Just saw that the bug was fixed with version 3.21.1 ??

Hi

Thank you for your input.

For this, as this is a direct code related query I would suggest sharing this directly to our dev team here – https://github.com/elementor/elementor

They would be able to answer your questions and take your suggestions on this one.
