I have installed your Elementor&#8217;s demos, but even with that, it is unconsistent, or working under elementor but not using its features, or using old Elementor methods (ex.: demos assigning Elementor templates to types they are nor supposed to &#8230;). Or sometimes when trying to edit a page under Elementor, it brakes the editor at loading, sometimes telling that &#8220;the page has no post content&#8221; and all must be redesigned again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So i try to recap in as few questions as possible, <strong>all in the context of Elementor Pro<\/strong> (answers could be different otherwise):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GD page templates (x3):<\/strong> must these exist at all, or can they be suppressed, or can be left in draft mode? are they used, or ignored completely ? must they still be set in GD &#8220;setting&#8221; tab or field can be left empty there ? will these pages be recreated by GD automatically on upgrade ?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Search page &amp; Location page:<\/strong> in your demo, they have &#8220;some&#8221; content, but they also seems to be overriden completely by an Elementor template completely (like if GD was dynamically supressing the content and creating the error described above) &#8230; normal ? Shall these pages edited there, or using an Elementor template override ONLY method ?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Elementor main post type assignment (Elementor &gt; Settings &gt; General &gt; Post Types):<\/strong> in your demo, Elementor is NOT assigned to the GD CPT (ex.: &#8220;Studios&#8221;) &#8230; normal ? a must to be so ?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks in advance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fabrice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19034763","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19034763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19034763\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19034763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
