I』ve activated Safe Mode and got 「MU Plugin」 message. What can I do?

In some cases, when activating Safe Mode, you may see a message similar to this:

「Please note! We couldn』t deactivate all of your plugins on Safe Mode.」 

This message means that Safe Mode is unable to deactivate all of the plugins installed, especially when there are MU (must-use) plugins installed. Learn more about MU plugins.

This issue is usually caused by either a developer or a hosting company that implements one or more MU (must-use) plugins. In this case, you should deactivate any MU plugins via your server』s control management panel or contact the hosting provider to deactivate it for you.

If you receive this message, Safe Mode can still help diagnose the problem, however unless you manually deactivate MU plugins, those plugins will still be activated and will not be part of the troubleshooting process.

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 safe mode and troubleshoot the problem for you. In the case of a multisite setup, only Super Admins can activate Safe Mode.

How To Become A Beta Tester

How To Become A Beta Tester

Being a beta tester will keep you on the cutting edge of our releases, and help us monitor and fix possible bugs whenever we release a new beta version. 

Beta testers enable us to test the compatibility of the upcoming versions in a variety of hosting configurations. Each beta tester will be running under a unique server setup, with varied combinations of plugins, themes, and custom code, all of which helps us understand which types of configurations may present issues that we can resolve before release. 

Beta testing is especially useful for website developers & designers, as well as plugin developers, as they are able to test the compatibility of their plugin or website with the upcoming version of  Elementor.  

Beta user feedback plays an important role in our ability to improve Elementor.  Feedback about any Issues should be reported in the relevant Github thread.

Important! We recommend only beta testing on a development or staging site, as beta versions are not stable and may break a live production site.

How To Enable Beta Testing Mode

Go to Elementor > Tools > Version Control and look for the section labeled Become A Better TesterBeta Tester: Select Enable to be notified whenever a new beta version of Elementor or Elementor Pro has been released. After enabling, go to Dashboard > Updates and click the Check Again button to make the latest beta version available to you. All subsequent beta update notifications will show up on the Plugins admin page as normal. 

Note: The Beta version will not install automatically. You always have the option to ignore the update notification.
