 * I have an issue where if i try to edit a template using elementor, an error pops
   up that says Internal Server Error 500.
 * Here is the error from the PHP debug:
 *     ```
       Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Elementor\Controls_Stack::sanitize_settings() must be of the type array, null given, called in C:\xampp\htdocs\tccele\wp-content\plugins\elementor\includes\base\controls-stack.php on line 987 and defined in C:\xampp\htdocs\tccele\wp-content\plugins\elementor\includes\base\controls-stack.php:2038
       Stack trace:
       #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\tccele\wp-content\plugins\elementor\includes\base\controls-stack.php(987): Elementor\Controls_Stack->sanitize_settings(NULL)
       #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\tccele\wp-content\plugins\elementor\includes\base\controls-stack.php(1787): Elementor\Controls_Stack->get_data('settings')
       #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\tccele\wp-content\plugins\elementor\core\base\base-object.php(142): Elementor\Controls_Stack->get_init_settings()

       #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\tccele\wp-content\plugins\elementor\includes\base\controls-stack.php(1001): Elementor\Core\Base\Ba
       ```
   
 * This only occurs whenever i try to “edit” the template but not if i try to add
   a new one. Any solutions?

 * Hey there,
 * Thanks for reaching out to us.
 * With respect to the issue here, this error seems to be specifically triggered
   by the Elementor plugin. Could you please confirm the following:
 * 1. That you are in a position to edit other non-BuddyBuilder templates and pages
   
   2. The Elementor version you are using 3. The PHP version within your site
 * Also please try disabling other third-party plugins except BuddyPress, Elementor
   and BuddyBuilder and test if the issue still occurs. If resolved, try reactivating
   them one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.
 * I look forward to your reply on this.
 * Kind Regards
