If the Elementor editor keeps loading forever, shows a blank page, or you see a grey panel, follow these steps in order.
1. Check required plugins and versions #
- Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- Make sure Elementor and Rakmyat Core are installed and active.
- Update to the latest versions of:
- WordPress
- Elementor
- Rakmyat theme and Rakmyat Core.
Outdated versions are a common reason for the editor not loading.
2. Increase PHP memory limit and server resources #
Elementor needs enough memory and execution time.
Ask your host or set these minimum values:
- PHP version: 7.4 or higher (8.0+ recommended).
- Memory limit: at least 256M (512M better).
- Max execution time: 300 seconds or more.
In wp-config.php you can add:
phpdefine( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
Then refresh the Elementor editor page.
3. Disable conflicting plugins #
Many times another plugin conflicts with Elementor.
- Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- Deactivate all plugins except:
- Elementor
- Elementor Pro (if used)
- Rakmyat Core
- Try to edit a page with Elementor:
- If it works now, reactivate your other plugins one by one.
- After each activation, test Elementor again until you find the plugin causing the issue.
- Keep the conflicting plugin disabled or replace it with an alternative.
4. Switch to a default theme for testing #
If Elementor still does not load:
- Go to Appearance → Themes.
- Temporarily activate a default theme (for example Twenty Twenty‑Four).
- Test Elementor again.
- If Elementor loads with the default theme, re‑activate Rakmyat and check that:
- Child theme does not contain PHP errors in
functions.php. - No custom code is breaking the editor.
- Child theme does not contain PHP errors in
5. Check browser and caching issues #
- Clear your browser cache or use an incognito/private window.
- Disable any browser extensions that might block scripts.
- Clear any WordPress cache plugin (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.).
- If you use a CDN (Cloudflare), purge its cache.
Reload the Elementor editor after clearing caches.
6. Fix Elementor settings #
- Go to Elementor → Settings → Advanced.
- Try enabling Switch Editor Loader Method.
- Save changes and test again.
Also check in Elementor → System Info that:
- Memory limit, post max size, and upload size are green or high enough.
- No red warnings about PHP or server settings.
7. Enable debug mode to see errors #
If the panel is still stuck:
- In
wp-config.php, enable debug logging:
phpdefine( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
- Try to open the Elementor editor again.
- Open
wp-content/debug.logvia FTP or File Manager. - Check the last lines for PHP errors related to a plugin, theme file, or server limit.
Fix or disable the component shown in the error, then set WP_DEBUG back to false for production.
8. When to contact support #
If you have:
- Updated everything,
- Increased memory and execution time,
- Disabled other plugins and caches,
- Tested with a default theme,
and Elementor still does not load, create a temporary admin account and send details plus your debug.log to support so they can check your specific installation.
