Many WordPress users often encounter issues with Elementor not loading, getting stuck on “Loading…,” or displaying a blank page, which can typically stem from a low PHP memory limit, plugin conflicts, theme incompatibility, outdated versions of Elementor or WordPress, or JavaScript errors.

Usually,  you can get things working again by clearing your browser data, cache and turning off any plugins besides Elementor. If that doesn’t do it, try bumping your PHP memory up to 256M or 512M, switching over to the Hello theme, or disabling Cloudflare’s Rocket Loader.”

Fixing not loading or stuck Elementor on the screen reflecting loading

Methodical Approaches:

  • Increasing the PHP Memory Limit Update wp-config.php with this : define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
    define(‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
  • Turn on safe mode (which is the best debugging tool) : Navigate to Safe Mode under Elementor > Tools confirmation of plugin or theme conflicts if Elementor loads.
  • Turn off plugins that conflict. One by one, disable plugins. Common offenders are the plugins for cache plugins with security features. Outdated add-ons for Elementor.
  • Check errors in the browser console. To inspect the console, right click on it. Examine any red errors. The specific plugin or file is frequently the source of errors.
  • Update every WordPress Core, Elementor, Theme.

 

Important : Maintain PHP versions between 8.0 and 8.1 for optimal Elementor compatibility.
