I solved this.

Initially I was missing $args part after index.php from Nginx try_files directive. I had

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ index.php;
}

Googling the symptoms led me to this thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cannot-edit-_published_-pages-with-elementor/

The first reply was from the OP who claimed that he had solved the problem. He had added $args after /index.php but he must have typed the solution, not copied it, because he missed a question mark.

I simply copied his answer but it did not work but I didn’t scroll down to read that another person had written a follow up about the missing question mark.

Anyway, instead of the question mark, I used $is_args variable which injects the question mark only when $args is not empty:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

This issue occurred when I moved the site from a shared hosting using Apache to my own VPS using Nginx.

So I am experiencing this issue: https://docs.elementor.com/article/184-cant-edit-with-elementor#panelgray

Things that I have done in attempt to resolve the issue:
– Set memory_limit = 512M in /etc/php/php7.4/fpm/php.ini – no effect
– Set define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ ); in wp-config.php – no effect
– Disable all other plugins – no effect
– move all files away from the webroot directory and rename the database and then unpack latest wordpress to the folder, basically start from the clean slate and only installing Elementor plugin and Astra theme. – no effect
