If the Elementor editor gets stuck on the loading screen and doesn’t open, it’s usually due to a conflict or server-side issue. Here are the most common causes and how to fix them:

✅ Common Causes & Solutions:

1. Plugin Conflicts
   ➡️ Cause: Another plugin may conflict with Elementor.
   ➡️ Solution: Deactivate all other plugins except Elementor and Elementor Pro. If the editor loads, reactivate plugins one by one to find the conflict.

2. Theme Compatibility Issues
   ➡️ Cause: Some themes may not fully support Elementor.
   ➡️ Solution: Switch temporarily to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) and test the editor.

3. PHP Memory Limit
   ➡️ Cause: Elementor requires a certain amount of memory to function properly.
   ➡️ Solution: Increase your PHP memory limit to at least 256MB. You can do this in your wp-config.php by adding:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

4. Old or Incompatible Versions
➡️ Cause: Running outdated versions of Elementor, WordPress, or PHP.
➡️ Solution: Update Elementor, WordPress core, and PHP (recommended: PHP 8.0 or higher).

5. Browser Issues or Extensions
➡️ Cause: A browser extension or cache may interfere with the editor.
➡️ Solution: Clear your browser cache or try opening Elementor in incognito mode or another browser.

6. Script or JS Errors
➡️ Cause: JavaScript errors can prevent the editor from loading.
➡️ Solution: Use the browser developer console to check for errors or consult your hosting provider.

7. Slow Server or Low Resources
➡️ Cause: Shared hosting with limited resources may slow or block Elementor’s editor.
➡️ Solution: Consider upgrading to better hosting or optimizing your WordPress installation.
