    Hi,
    I am not sure what had happened to my WordPress + OceanWP(child theme) + Elementor.
    In the past month, I have successfully used Elementor to create many pages.

    One day, when I try to edit few words in a particular page with Elementor, I found out there is no “Edit” nor “Edit with Elementor” button available.

    This is the normal screenshot:
    with-edit-button.png

    This is the abnormal screenshot, the “Edit” and “Edit with Elementor” buttons were all missing!

    Can someone help me on this? Big Thanks!

    WordPress V4.97
    Elementor V2.15
    OceanWP V1.5.10 (OceanWP-child theme in use)

    If I’ve understood your problem correctly, I’ve just had this exact problem. I solved it by going to the dashboard and selecting ‘Elementor’ – ‘Settings’ – ‘General’ tab – and checking either ‘Pages’ or ‘Posts’ or both. I had the problem where when I wanted to create a new page or edit a previous page the ‘Edit with Elementor’ button wasn’t visible. This is because both my ‘Pages’ and ‘Posts’ buttons were unchecked in the settings. Hope this helps.

    Hi Nicky1234,
    Thanks your quick reply. I went in to the setting and checked both ‘Pages’ and ‘Posts’ are both checked.

    I used Elementor to create 4-5 pages and not sure when these “Edit with Elementor” were missing until yesterday.

    Thank you,

    Hi,
    I went to the ‘Elementor’ setting to uncheck both ‘Pages’ and ‘Posts’ and save. After that I can see the original ‘Edit’ button. Then I went back to ‘Elementor’ setting to check both ‘Pages’ and ‘Posts’ and save.

    After that, I looked the pages I created with Elementor from the backend, still no ‘Edit with Elementor’ button appear.

    Can someone help on this?

    Thank you,
    Stonez

    Hi all,
    After all the possibilities I tried including disable all plugins, activated 2017 theme, restore database, and update all plugins, still no use.

    Since there is no solution available for this issue, I will just have to remove Elementor and start again these pages with the other Editors.

    Update word press to 4.9.8 My guess is your theme and plug in is updated but your wp is not which is causing the abnormally? that is just a guess.

    other thought is one of your seo plug ins is requiring php 7 min update to that and see if that is a go

    Hi Jeremiah,
    Thanks! here is my setup environment and they are all up to date.

    PHP Version 7.1.19
    WP: v4.9.8
    Elementor: v2.1.6

    One thing I found it quite weird is that the Elementor worked great on my localhost environment, but when I use “Duplicator” to zip it up and re-create the site in my hosting (Dreamhost) the “Edit with Elementor” button disappeared.

    I had the same issue. I guess it is a bug when one or the other plugin is updated first.

    In WordPress, go to plugins, make sure all plugins and WordPress are up to date.

    Then go to pages and choose the page you want to edit. “Edit with Elementor” button should be available at the left side of the top toolbar. If you cannot find it try this.

    On the top toolbar at the right edge click on the three little dots. From the menu, under the Editor click on the ‘Code Editor’. The editor will switch to the code editor. Then again change back to the visual editor by pressing ‘Visual Editor’. ‘Edit with Elementor’ button should now be available on the toolbar at the top. For this to happen everything should be up to date.

    I did not investigate the cause of this error. There was no js error or conflict. But, I encountered with the same error today. And basic solution by me.

    • First create a page normally
    • After page is loaded, open developer console (ctrl+shift+i)
    • search elementor-editor in page source
    • find div with that id=”elementor-editor”
    • Finally change css display property

    display:none to display:block or remove display:none or display:block!important

    Here is the printscr

    OR
    better solution for beginners

    Press Ctrl+shift+j and open javascript console and paste

    document.getElementById("elementor-editor").style.display = "block!important";

    enter. That’s ok
