 * Hey guys and girls I need some help! I’m not an expert but I have some understanding
   of how to use WP. This however is over my head!
 * I am getting a critical error.
 * I have so far tried
 * – ensures plugins, themes and WP is upto date
    – tried a default theme – cached
   pages – deactivated all plugins except Elementor
 * I am still getting this critical error. I used query monitor to get this.
 *     ```

 * I will add I don’t have elementor activated so my page is ok at present but I
   want elementor for some better looking pages and my theme supports it 🙂

 * Hi,
 * Have you tried to delete Elementor and reinstall the latest version?
 * *make sure you perform a backup before taking this action.
 * I hope it solves your issue.

 * Hey David,
 * I think a moment ago I figured out this was a theme issue so I have gone back
   to the developers so they can confirm, thanks!
