# Elementor Data Updater message and missing elements

 * For the first time, on an Elementor (and Pro) system, I noticed this along the
   top of the screen: “Elementor Data Updater. Database update process is running
   in the background. Taking a while?”
 * I haven’t run the “Click here to run it how” button yet. Is it safe to do? I’ve
   seen some past threads suggesting that it results in a fatal error.
 * Despite definitely being on 3.2.2 (and Pro 3.2.1), I see no mention of 3.2.2 
   in the log, relative to data updating or anything else, which is strange. The
   only recent lines:
 * > 2021-04-22 14:01:08 [info] Elementor data updater process has been queued. [
   > array (
   >  ‘plugin’ => ‘Elementor’, ‘from’ => ‘3.1.4’, ‘to’ => ‘3.2.1’, )] 2021-

   > 2021-04-22 14:01:08 [info] Elementor/Upgrades – _v_3_2_0_migrate_breakpoints_to_new_system
   > Finished 2021-04-22 14:01:08 [info] Elementor data updater process has been
   > completed. [array ( ‘plugin’ => ‘Elementor’, ‘from’ => ‘3.1.4’, ‘to’ => ‘3.2.1’,)]
   > 2021-04-22 14:01:09 [info] Elementor data updater process has been queued. [
   > array ( ‘plugin’ => ‘Elementor’, ‘from’ => ‘3.1.4’, ‘to’ => ‘3.2.1’, )]
 * I’m looking into all this not just because of what I mentioned at the top but
   because certain Elementor images, like the little arrows in the top menu, and
   even the Elementor elements that you normally see when editing a page, are not
   displaying. I suspect the above is why but wanted to check.
 * BTW, I noticed this on the log page, in the Elementor – Compatibility Tag section:
 * -Elementor Pro: incompatible
 * As mentioned, it’s also on the latest version. I don’t see how it could be incompatible,
   but if it is, maybe this is part of the problem?

 * With no response here, I pressed the button, and it almost instantly finished.
   The log then added:
 * > `2021-04-28 23:56:40 [info] elementor::elementor_updater Started
   >  2021-04-28
   > 23:56:40 [info] Elementor/Upgrades – _v_3_2_0_migrate_breakpoints_to_new_system

 * But no resolution of the widespread element problem. So I tried rolling back 
   to 3.2.1, but also no help. Quite curious, but unless you have some other ideas.
   Elementor may not be responsible, despite the coincidence of the version upgrade
   and the resulting error mentioned above.
 * BTW, also tried regenerating CSS (in Elementor) as well as clearing OPCache (
   separate plugin).
