If it solves the issue reactivate them one by one to find the culprit. If it didn’t help, switch your theme (temporarily) to a default WP theme such as Twenty Nineteen and see if it makes any difference. * I am looking forward to hearing back from you soon. * Kind regards, * Thread Starter [teialagos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/teialagos/) * (@teialagos) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-keeps-loading-side-bar/#post-18840291) * Hi, * Thank you for your prompt response. * I have followed the troubleshooting steps as suggested: - Deactivated all plugins except Elementor (and Elementor Pro). - Switched to the default WordPress theme (Twenty Nineteen). * Unfortunately, none of these steps resolved the issue. The editor still gets stuck loading, and I am still encountering the same **500 Internal Server Error** and issues in the console (e.g., “Settings object not found” and various failed requests to `/wp-json/elementor/v1/...`). * I also wanted to ask if there could be any issues with the database, as sometimes these types of errors can be related to corrupted tables or issues with connections. Would you recommend checking or repairing the database? * Could you please advise further on how to proceed? I would appreciate any additional guidance or potential solutions to resolve this. * Looking forward to your response. * Kind regards, * [Zillur Rahman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tozillur23/) * (@tozillur23) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-keeps-loading-side-bar/#post-18842911) * Dear [@teialagos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/teialagos/) , Thanks for sharing your details with us. The Sidebar loading issue may cause because of the Low Memory of PHP. Please increase the memory limit by following.Open the** wp-config.php** file * ```wp-block-code define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M'); set_time_limit(300); ``` * Please try this and let us know. Hope this will works! Thanks in advance. * Plugin Support [Rica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ricav/) * (@ricav) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-keeps-loading-side-bar/#post-18846077) * Hi [@teialagos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/teialagos/), * I’ve checked the page URL you provided and it seems that you have Elementor Pro.
