 * I have spent hours trying to get Elementor working on WordPress, but with very
   limited success. I now get the following warning, which I do not seem to be able
   to avoid:
    ******
 * **Notice: Elementor\Controls_Manager::add_control_to_stack was called incorrectly.
   Cannot redeclare control with same name. – view Please see Debugging in WordPress
   for more information. **
 * ******
    I have reinstalled Elementor three times (twice by uploading the files,
   once installing the plug-in from the online selection)… perhaps this is what 
   is causing the problem?
 * I feel like throwing in the towel and defecting to SquareSpace… can anyone help
   or should I admit defeat and find a solution I can master with the limited skills
   I have?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadd_control_to_stack-was-called-incorrectly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Please try to deactivate all your plugins and change to default WordPress theme
   and try again.
