Elementor missing template file error

Elementor reports a missing template file when it cannot locate a template matching a condition. The issue occurs because the template record is absent from the database or the file cannot be read from the uploads folder. Corrupted meta data, outdated plugin versions, or server limits also stop Elementor from registering the template.

Symptoms

Common Causes

Deleted Elementor library entry
The wp_posts record with post_type elementor_library is removed or orphaned
Outdated Elementor version
Older version does not create required template entries for current core
File permission restriction
Uploads folder prevents Elementor from reading or writing template JSON files
Server memory limit
PHP process stops before template registration due to memory exhaustion
