• I am currently trying to use Elementor with a custom built theme and I am getting some really odd behaviour. If I am working in a section and I expand or collapse the Elementor widget list, it adds an additional column to the section. Additionally, if I click on the menu in the upper left of the elementor tools (for the global settings and such) it asks if I would like to delete the current column.

    I have tested plugins and none appear to be conflicting. If I switch to the 2016 theme it works just fine, so the problem appears to be in my theme. Right now my page template consists of:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <main>
      <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
        <?php the_content(); ?>
      <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    </main>
    <aside role="navigation" <?php aside_class(); ?>>
      <?php get_module("nav", "site"); ?>
    </aside>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    This displays the page with the correct sidebar in Elementor’s editor, but like I said, I get the weird duplicate and delete issues. So my questions are:

    Has anyone else seen this weird duplication/delete issue?
    What is the bare minimum template that Elementor needs in order to work?
    Does anyone know of other possible issues I should be looking at within my theme?

    I am still trying to track this one down. It occurs cross browser, so it has to be some kind of issue with the theme. I would love to get some input on this if anyone has an idea.

    Just in case anyone else ever runs into this, I have discovered that Elementor does not always play nicely with Browser Sync. Since both are attempting to re-write parts of the DOM on the fly, they cause the odd behavior I described above. I disabled Browser Sync and everything works as expected.
