Elementor database table missing error

Elementor relies on several tables that store page data, settings and CSS. When one of those tables is absent or corrupted WordPress is unable to load the editor and shows a database table missing message.

The error appears because the query that Elementor runs fails to find the required table. The missing table is a core WordPress table such as wp_options or an Elementor specific table like wp_elementor_data. The problem usually stems from an incomplete migration, a failed backup restore, wrong table prefix or MySQL engine issues.
