* calling $post_type_name = get_query_var( ‘post_type’ ); when elementor is active
returns a array even in pages that are not using elementor. This is incorrect!!!
* ```xdebug-var-dump
array (size=3)
0 => string 'post' (length=4)
1 => string 'page' (length=4)
2 => string 'e-landing-page' (length=14)
```
* array (size=3)
0 => string ‘post’ (length=4) 1 => string ‘page’ (length=4) 2
=> string ‘e-landing-page’
* This message shows in pages and posts that have been created or saved after elementor
was activated. Even if they are not elementor pages.
* Theme developers are expecting a post_type to be returned not a array !
* This is incorrect. It should never show that message on not elementor pages.
How can i turn off that behavior. I dont want a array returned i need the post
type returned !

* in page or post get_query_var( ‘post_type’ ); returns a empty string ! It returns
the post type name on any cpt ! Elementor is changing that behaviour and returns‘
e-landing-page’ on a single post or page. To me this is incorrect as those are
NOT custom posts types !
* Please adjust this behaviour !

* This has nothing todo with the pro version. The error code happens when you use
elementor and call
* $test= get_query_var( ‘post_type’ );
if {$test==’your_post_type’} {}
* without the pro version activated.

* [@backups](https://wordpress.org/support/users/backups/) As you are an Elementor
Pro user the developer can’t have a conversation with customers here. That’s
not permitted for anyone.
* Do not seek Elementor support in the community forums.
* For pro or commercial product support please contact the developer directly on
their site. This includes any pre-sales topics as well.
* [https://my.elementor.com/](https://my.elementor.com/)
* As the developer is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.
