 * First of all, this message is for Elementor plugin, not ElementsKit Elementor
   addons. I’d love to see your users’ sites never be your tests again. Every day
   that Elementor in combination with these addons above makes my sites look bad,
   I lose serious money, especially as I bring mass traffic from Google Ads to my
   elementor sites.
 * I am still suffering major financial losses from this Elementor update. And I
   hope that anyone who uses this combination of plugins will think extremely well
   before using them on a real site, because the entire WordPress system with plugins
   that have these frustrating updates for everyone will crash your real site when
   you don’t expect it. Also, a business that uses this plugin and its addons to
   create 100 + paid blog posts every day will be hit hard by the loss of this money
   for the whole period when it panics and destroys the sites in an attempt to find
   out what is happening and to fail to deliver anything.`

 * Never think that you have a plugin good enough not to depend on addons, but rather
   seriously think about a perfectly synchronized collaboration with developers 
   who develop addons for elementor, especially those that have hundreds or millions
   of users.

 * Obviously, WordPress is recognized worldwide for its big problem of making so
   many updates in just one year and risking ruining millions of sites with these
   updates.

 * For me, for this reason, WordPress has an extremely big minus, and the work of
   so many years of thousands of developers is being trampled on by some people 
   who enter the programming niches and are not able to maintain a functional code.

 * I lost customers because of this plugin. My paid plan pages were built using 
   some elements of this plugin along with Elementor Pro, and my paid plan pages
   looked like _[ expletive deleted ]_ and hundreds of blog posts in which a component
   of this plugin was used resulted in conversion decreases to 0!
 * I stayed up all night with the hosting service to increase our server PHP details
   although they were already greatly enlarged and later to come to understand very
   clearly that the issue is caused by the plugin conflict. After they were updated,
   something was changed in their structure or code and they stopped working together.
 * That’s why it’s good to try to stay away from all extremely poorly built plugins
   found in the WordPress search directory and even try to give up WordPress permanently,
   because when you get to have a great site, you will encounter these problems 
   that are not caused by you.

 * Hello, Webnus Team.
 * I have implemented this css code. It’s probably from the cloudflare cache because
   I don’t see the same result as in your print screen, but I deleted the cache 
   and I’ll check again tomorrow.
 * Thanks so much for the code!

 * SOLVED!
 * To disable cropping, insert this below code in disable-automatic-image-crop.php
   file in your mu-plugins folder:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: Disable Automatic Image Crop
       Author: WordPress Community
       Description: https://gist.github.com/czenzel/0f5888cbbfa4a857e56361dd3bc19b39
       */
       add_action( 'init', 'czc_disable_extra_image_sizes' );
       add_filter( 'image_resize_dimensions', 'czc_disable_crop', 10, 6 );
       function czc_disable_crop( $enable, $orig_w, $orig_h, $dest_w, $dest_h, $crop )
       {
           // Instantly disable this filter after the first run
           // remove_filter( current_filter(), __FUNCTION__ );
           // return image_resize_dimensions( $orig_w, $orig_h, $dest_w, $dest_h, false );
           return false;
       }
       function czc_disable_extra_image_sizes() {
           foreach ( get_intermediate_image_sizes() as $size ) {
               remove_image_size( $size );
           }
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * Please check the plugins you have installed. Try to uninstall a large part of
   the plugins and see if this happens again, because it could be from a plugin 
   you are using.

 * Whether you do it manually or using a plugin, you can only encounter errors if
   you missed to change something basic to the new copy.I personally do not use 
   plugins for this, and I do it manually every time. Copying a wordpress site is
   a simple matter and you should not worry about errors.
