Elementor gives "call 'the_content' method" Error

  • I am using Biography theme and want to use Elementor on the home page. It won’t let me. Whenever I click on “use Elementor” on this page I get an error message:

    Sorry, content area not found in your page

    You must call ‘the_content’ method in current template, in order to allow Elementor work on this page.

    What can I do?

  • You need to check your template file, and make sure this line of code is in there

    <main class="page-wrap-single-page main" role="main">

      <?php the_content(); ?>

  </main><?php

    That’s the content call method.

    Doh! Why didn’t I think of that? And Pyanke?

    Come on, you have to give us some credit. the_content() is present in our templates… Well it certainly is in mine. 

    <div class="page-content">
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();  ?>
            <?php the_content(); ?>

    It wouldn’t be much of a WordPress page template without the call…

    Unfortunately, there appears to be a rather unfortunate bug in the plug-in for at least some templates.

    We want to check it out. Did you use this theme?

    Could you be more specific. I am not an HTML person, but would like to use Elementor on a Tesseract theme. How do I get it to work?
