Elementor editor not loading

When the Elementor editor does not load, WordPress fails to deliver the required JavaScript and CSS files. This usually happens because a conflict or a server limitation stops the assets from reaching the browser.

You will see a blank screen or an endless spinner. The problem often appears after a plugin update, a theme change, or a server configuration change.

Symptoms

[dashicons-warning]
Blank screen
The editor area stays white and no widgets appear.
[dashicons-warning]
Infinite spinner
A loading wheel never finishes and blocks access to the editor.
[dashicons-warning]

[dashicons-warning]
Console errors
Browser console shows 403/404 on Elementor assets or uncaught JavaScript errors.

Common Causes

Plugin conflict
Another plugin blocks or overwrites Elementor scripts.
Outdated theme
Theme lacks required hooks or uses old markup that prevents Elementor from initializing.
PHP memory limit
Memory below 128 MB triggers fatal errors when Elementor loads.
Server restrictions
Low max_execution_time, mod_security rules, or file‑permission errors stop Elementor assets from being served.
