# Element changes not showing while building

 * I’m not sure what’s causing the issue but whenever I use Elementor now everything
   works like normal but as soon as I edit an element like a textbox or whatever
   the changes don’t show up. If I save it they will take effect but I can’t see
   the changes happening live. Sometimes it will work randomly on a couple elements
   but not very often. I noticed that Elementor is only saying wordpress has 40mb
   of memory usage.. which is wrong, it had 256mb. Don’t know what that’s about.
 * I’m using the latest versions of the plugin and GeneratePress theme.

 * Can you try to deactivate all plugins except Elementor? Maybe it is a conflict.
   Also update Elementor to the latest version

 * [@silentfox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silentfox/) Were you able to
   solve this? I’m also having this problem and been having it for months know, 
   both in different hosting providers and my own local development setups. With
   the default themes or generatepress. On initial install all works fine, even 
   without any type of plugin, or custom theme, eventually elementor preview stops
   showing changes and I’ve never been able to keep track of what exactly does it.
   It just stops working. If I update the site then the push works and the site 
   updates fine, but, no preview, and it is almost always on the Home page.
 * The thing I notice in the url is this,
    On pages that work, this is what the 
   parameter part of the preview url looks like ?preview_nonce=23f96df82a&preview
   =true But, on the home page, the preview url looks like ?preview_nonce=e220367f4d
   It initially has the &preview=true parameter, but then it redirects to the url
   without the preview=true. There are no redirector plugins installed or anything.
