Can’t publish changes on PHP 8+

Resolved VisedFAQ

1 year, 4 months ago

Hello Elementor Support, I can’t publish any changes in Elemenor editor when the PHP version 8+ is set for server. Only works OK on PHP 7.4

How can this be fixed? No other plugins produce such issues and PHP 7.4 is quite outdated already.

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting us.

This issue is likely caused by an incompatibility between your Elementor version and PHP 8+. Here are some steps to diagnose and fix it:

1. Check Your Elementor Version

Ensure that you are using the latest versions of both Elementor. Older versions may not be fully compatible with PHP 8+.2.

2. Enable Debug Mode

Enable WordPress debug mode to check for errors:

Add this to your wp-config.php file:define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false); @ini_set('display_errors', 0);
After trying to publish changes in Elementor, check the error log (/wp-content/debug.log) for any PHP-related errors.

3. Check for Plugin Conflicts

Even though you mentioned that other plugins don’t cause issues, some may still conflict with Elementor under PHP 8+.

Deactivate all plugins except Elementor and try again.
If it works, reactivate plugins one by one to identify the culprit.

4. Switch to a Default Theme

Try switching to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) and check if the issue persists. Some themes may not be fully compatible with PHP 8+.

5. Check PHP Error Log

If your server provides error logs (e.g., via cPanel or SSH access), check them for any fatal errors or deprecation warnings that may help pinpoint the issue.

6. Increase PHP Limits

7. Reinstall Elementor

Sometimes, a corrupted installation can cause issues.

Deactivate and delete Elementor
Reinstall them from the WordPress plugin repository.

8. Check for a Server-Side Conflict

Your hosting environment may have specific settings causing conflicts.

Contact your hosting provider and ask if they see any PHP errors related to Elementor.
If necessary, test the site on another PHP 8+ environment (e.g., a staging site with a different host)

Hope this helps.

Hi @miloss84, the issue was caused by incorrect server permissions.
