Error “You must call ‘the_content’ function in the current template”

    Hi there

    I have a site in a subfolder on WordPress (/wp). I did this in order for me to work on the site without people being able to get to the site.

    Now that I made the site live, I researched on how to move the site to the root. I ended up not having to physically move the site but simply changed the site URL under settings to not include the /wp and then edited the index.php to still point to the subfolder ( /
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp/wp-blog-header.php’ ); )

    Works great. BUT now I cannot edit my site with Elementor anymore! It gives me the error “You must call ‘the_content’ function in the current template”.

    I am by NO means a developer or coder, I research what I need to do and apply it – so TOTALLY a noob at this.

    Please help! I have deactivated and deleted Elementor and reinstalled and activated it…no luck, still same error. Gives me this on ALL the pages.

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

    PS: I see what when I try to edit a page (gallery page in this instance), the link is:

    https://www.idesigninabox.co.za/wp/wp-admin/post.php?post=10&action=elementor

    I see it still has the /wp in it. I tried removing it but then it just tells me the page does not exist.

    I guess the easy way is to revert it back to the original link but then how do I move the site to the root and keep Elementor working?

    I believe Elementor requires that the WordPress Address (URL) and the Site Address (URL) in Settings > General be the same. If they aren’t, I don’t believe it will work. I’d suggest doing the actual move to the root.
