Deleting Your Website to Start Again

Sometimes you make a mistake designing and building your website and rather than try and fix it, it』s better just to start from scratch. That answer depends on when you created your website.

For sites created on or after December 22, 2021

For sites created after this date, Elementor automatically creates a backup of your site as a clean installation, so you just need to restore the original site backup.  

From your My Elementor dashboard, select Manage this website.Scroll down to the Backups section.Locate the first backup.Select Restore.

For sites created after January 1, 2022

For sites created before December 22, 2021

Contact support with a request to delete your website.Support will contact the Accounting and Billing department (A&B). A&B will delete the old site.Elementor will email you to inform you that your site has been deleted.Visit your My Elementor dashboard.A new form will popup to create a new site, fill out this form.You』ll see your old site on the My Elementor dashboard.Delete your old site by clicking on the ellipsis (three vertical dots), next to the site name and select delete.Click Create Website to create your new site.

What is Safe Mode?

If you are unable to edit because you encounter a never-ending Elementor Loading page, you can troubleshoot the problem by enabling Elementor』s Safe Mode.

「Safe Mode」 is a safe environment that isolates Elementor and WordPress from the themes and plugins that might be causing the error.

What Does Safe Mode Do?

Safe Mode helps identify any issue that interferes with Elementor loading. In most cases, loading issues are caused by conflicts between plugins or themes. Safe Mode lets you verify if the problem persists even after deactivating plugins and themes, and pinpoint the possible cause of the issue.

The only thing that changes when Safe Mode is enabled is that the Elementor editor loading is done without any activated Plugins or Themes. Enabling Safe Mode also temporarily deactivates all Elementor Experiments.

Using 『Safe Mode』 opens the Elementor editor on a clean version of WordPress, without loading a theme or any plugins. All plugins are deactivated and an empty theme file is loaded.

Note: Safe Mode removes third-party scripts from the Editor, however, it does not remove 3rd-party scripts from the Widget Panel.

How To Activate Safe Mode

You can activate Safe Mode in either of two ways:

Go to Elementor > Tools and select Enable from the Safe Mode dropdown and then click the Save Changes button orClick the Enable Safe Mode button that pops up when the Editor is unable to load.

Note: Safe Mode can be activated only by site admins (i.e. users with administrator privileges) because only they can deactivate plugins. If you are not receiving the Enable Safe Mode option, please ask your site administrator to activate the safe mode and troubleshoot the problem for you. In the case of a multisite setup, only Super Admins can activate Safe Mode.

Note: Safe Mode only affects logged in users while they are using the Elementor editor, and has NO effect on site visitors or other logged-in users. For them, the site will operate as usual, with the regular theme and plugins activated.

Note: Safe Mode only helps solve problems with the Elementor editor itself. It does not help solve issues that prevent the widget panel from loading or issues occurring on the front end of the site, such as changes that do not appear online. 

Important: Safe Mode must be disabled for Elementor Experiments to work. If missing functionalities (example: Landing Pages), please disable safe mode.

Once you』ve verified that Safe Mode helped, now it』s time to Debug Safe Mode to find and fix the plugin or theme issue.

Import Files From Desktop

You may insert a file or group of files directly from your computer to the editor window by dragging and dropping into a section or column. This feature supports the allowed file types .jpeg, .png, .gif, and mp4. In addition to media files, you are able to easily drag any saved template files (.json) into the editor window.

Dragging a media file onto the page will automatically add the media files to the media library, and create the correlating widget on the page (a dragged image will automatically place an image widget in the section, and a video will automatically place a video widget in the section).

Other Information

In order to edit the title, alt-tags, and descriptions of your files, you will need to use the WP Media library functionality.

Hosted Elementor Website: Adding Your Custom Domain Name To Your Hosted Elementor Website

Once you have purchased your domain, you may add it to your Hosted Elementor Website as a Custom Domain. In order to do this, you will first need to make some changes to your domain』s DNS (Domain Name System) records.  This document will walk you through the steps.

Let』s Get Started

From your Elementor dashboard, go to Websites and click the Manage This Website button located in your website』s card to open the site details screen. From the Manage Domains section, click the Add Custom Domain link. 

A popup screen will then appear that looks like the following:

Keep this popup screen open as you will need to copy the information to your registar. To do this, you will need to log into your domain』s registrar account where you purchased your domain in a new tab.

Log in to your Registrar Website Account

Once you』ve logged in to your registrar』s website in a new browser tab, you will need to edit your DNS records by adding or editing the A record to point at your Hosted Elementor Website』s IP address. Please refer to your registrar』s documentation for locating their DNS tools.

Adding An A Record

An A Record is the most common method for directing a domain to point to your Hosted Elementor Website. An A record assigns an address for your domain to a specific IP address (eg. point example.com to IP address 162.159.137.9).The correct IP addresses are currently 162.159.137.9 and 162.159.138.9. You will see the correct IP from your Hosted Elementor Website Dashboard.

Important: If your domain is hosted at CloudFlare, you cannot turn on Proxy as this will not allow the domain to be properly connected. It has to be set to 『DNS Only』.

Adding A CNAME

The alternative method of pointing your domain to your cloud account is to add a CNAME record that points your domain to your Hosted Elementor Website Domain. For example, if your domain name is example.com and your Hosted Elementor Website, e.g. example.elementor.cloud, create a CNAME record on example.com that points to example.elementor.cloud.

Using CNAME For WWW

In order to direct the www to your Hosted Elementor Website, you must create a CNAME record with the name set to www, the value set to @, and the TTL set appropriately (example: 1 Hour). See example below (GoDaddy):

Wait for the DNS changes to propagate

DNS servers across the world periodically check for any changes to the DNS records. A DNS change requires up to 72 hours to propagate worldwide, although this often happens within a few hours, and in some cases, within a few minutes.

Return to the Hosted Elementor Website Dashboard

On the Elementor Dashboard browser tab, you may now click the green acceptance button. If the popup has gotten closed, you may return to this step by clicking Add Custom Domain Button at any time.

Adding Your Domain Name To The Dashboard

In the next popup, you will enter your domain name in the input area provided. 

Add your domain name into the text area, without 「www」. So in this example, shown above, we』re adding a custom domain name of 「justanothercoolwebsite.com」. At this time, you may also set your domain as the Primary Domain and also create the www. You may add or edit these later if you wish.

Wait for Elementor to connect to your domain.

Sit back and relax. Once you have completed the steps above, Elementor will attempt to connect to your registrar. This process could take a few minutes, but up to 72 hours. 

Setting the Custom Name as Primary

To set your domain as the primary destination for visitors, you will need to click on the Set Primary Domain link beside your custom domain name. The following popup will appear. Click the green Set Primary button. The popup window will close. It will take 30 seconds to several minutes for the changes to appear. You will also receive email notifications once ready.

So, what』s next?

We』ll check that your DNS is available (this might take up to 72 hours).We』ll issue an SSL certificate for your website.When your domain is ready, we』ll notify you by email.

Adding The Logo

To add a logo to your imported Kit, you may assign it by uploading your logo in the Site Identity settings. It will then be used for the header and footer of your website when the Site Logo Widget is used. You may use jpg, png, and gif file types.

Note: SVGs may be used if previously uploaded to the media library. You must also define a size in the style tab of your Site Logo Widget.

Replace Demo Content

When importing your kit, be advised that Kits contain third-party images, videos, media, files, audio and other visual components. While we have the right to use them in our Kits Library, we cannot ensure that you may use them in your own product. Therefore, please replace or remove all above assets from your copy of the Kits.

Editing The Popups

If your Kit includes popups for contact forms, navigation, or other uses, you may locate these in the dashboard located in the Templates region.

You can add the Kit Popups to the icons or links by using the dynamic options. For more about popups click here.

Known Bugs and User Experience Issues

Version Elementor Core 3.5.1

Issue: When using the responsive controls to reverse columns, some breakpoints are not compliant. Columns will not display in reverse order. This primarily affects the tablet breakpoint. 

Issue: When using the multi select feature, copied elements are pasted in the reverse order. 

Issue: Inner Section can』t be drug into a column (#17249)

Resolution

These known issues are scheduled to be patched on the next release (Core 3.5.2)

Version Elementor Pro 3.4.1

Issue: Custom Breakpoints + Single templates – Custom breakpoints do not work while using a single post/page template.

Description:

When using custom breakpoints for elements on posts/pages edited with Elementor, this does not work on the frontend while a single template is being applied. The CSS for the default desktop breakpoint in the inline styling (added while using the Post Content widget) overrides the post』s stylesheet with the expected custom breakpoint CSS.

Possible Workaround:

Disabling the 「Additional Custom Breakpoints」 beta feature (in 「Elementor > Settings > Experiments」) resolves this issue at this time.

Resolution

This known issue is scheduled to be patched on the next release of the version
