Hi,
Can you give more info please?
It was working before you did a fresh install?
What do you mean by fresh install?
Why a fresh install if all was working fine?
If you switch themes, did you re-assing the menu?
Blog content looks fine?

By the way I can tell you used Visual Composer to build your content, because I find these kind of shortcode leftovers: ( https://www.panx.io/home-resumes/)

If you created most of your content with Visual Composer you can’t just expect all content will show up as before, if you disable Visual composer and activate another pagebuilder. You will need to recreate it with the new pagebuilder all together..

The fresh install was because our system admin irreversibly messed up our website and we had to redo pretty much everything from the scratch. We followed the same steps but the error was appearing before we installed visual composer.
After disabling all other plugins and leaving only elementor and activating a recommended theme for elmentor it still occurs on all pages

Maybe it is a cache problem i will try again since like i said we had no problems with the previous theme. So our best guest is another plugin is messing it up

Not sure if I understand correctly, but it is never a good idea to use two different pagebuilders ( Visual composer and Elementor in this case ) together in one site. That is bound to give conflicts at some point.

It is actually pretty weird since I noticed that Elementor only works on draft pages, once the page is published the_content() error occurs. If i revert the page status back to draft and click update I can use Elementor and the error is gone.
It’s not a perfect solution but maybe it’s a hack since this is not a theme specific error for sure, as i have tried it on generatepress and other recommended themes and the same behavior occurs.
Very strange indeed. I use the Generate Press/Elementor combo and do not have this error. There must be something else going on but what?
Do you still have both pagebuilders active? You did not answer that question I believe?

I have in my very first comment i said i have tried three approaches and all of them failed “2- disabling all other plug-ins and clearing cache” did not work as well
Oh, true, forgot about that, sorry!
Are you able to install a total fresh install in a subfolder of your domain? Just to see if in a fresh install and only elementor and generate press, you see the same error?
If so, might be a host issue of some kind?
If that fresh install does not have that issue, you can be pretty sure, something in the old site causes this.
I came across this topic and noticed I have the exact same issue and can’t figure out what it is.
It has to do something with A) Elementor itself (my guess) or B) the hosting environment. The developer console shows no errors.
Tested:
1. I used a standard theme (Twenty Sixteen) with all plugins activated -> error.
2. I used a standard theme (Twenty Sixteen) with all plugins disabled -> error.
3. I create a new page, edit it with Elementor, save it, publish it, exit Elementor, enter Elementor -> error.
4. I create a new page, edit it with Elementor, save it as draft, exit Elementor, enter Elementor -> success.
The workaround for now is to edit the page when in draft, save it and change the status to published. When I want to edit the page I change the status to draft and I can make the changes.
The weird thing for me is that all changes I make are saved but something goes wrong when you publish the page.
Any further help?
Hi guys,
I recently noticed that I can’t modify my wordpress using elementor plugin any longer. The error “the content area is not found in your page” keeps appearing for any page which i had earlier created using elementor.
I updated all my plugins, disabled all plugins except elementor, reverted to a prior php version from the control panel, changed content to draft and tried editing with elemntor, changed my theme and yet it is still not allowing any edits to any page. I have used this site as it is for almost 8 months now. I contacted the theme creator but they do not seem to know what the possible issue is as the theme works perfectly well at their end with elementor.
Will appreciate a solution.
Thanks
I can tell you my solution that fixed everything. This solution is for Nginx (but can work with Apache after some modification).
In the configuration file I had to change this:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$args;
}
To this:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
A simple fix for me and all my own fault. This way Elementor can handle the pretty permalinks in the backend and makes sure you don’t get any errors when you edit pages.
Let me know if it worked for you too.
@silverxp thanks for the response. That didn’t not solve my problem unfortunately but rather realized that it was a browser conflict of some sort. My primary browser is Google Chrome and that just kept popping up the error with Elementor until i used another browser and used Chrome in incognito mode.
Now that i can work, I am happy.
Appreciate your response.
Many Thanks
