 * Essentials Plugin causes 500 error on [https://short-term.missionnext.org](https://short-term.missionnext.org)
   and [https://it-technology.missionnext.org](https://it-technology.missionnext.org)
   when trying to edit these pages with Elementor. Other subsites work ok. Main 
   Website is MissionNext.org. If I deactivate Essentials. I am able to edit these
   two pages. Reactivating causes the 500 error. My “wp-config.php” file has Mem
   Limit: (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’)

 * Hello [@bensonbrad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bensonbrad/),
   Hope you
   are doing well.
 * We are sorry to hear about the issue you are facing with. Actually, this issue
   happens due to a website having low memory. We can see that your website’s memory
   limit is already increased to 1024M. Maybe your server isn’t allowing to increase
   the PHP Memory Limit despite it showing 1024M on your website. Can you please
   contact your hosting provider regarding this and tell them to increase the Memory
   Limit from their end? This usually happens if you are using Shared hosting.
 * Let us know how it goes.
   Thank you!

 * Hello [@bensonbrad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bensonbrad/) 
   Thank you
   for sharing the Site Health information. I have reviewed it carefully. Even though
   the memory limits are set quite high, memory usage can still fluctuate depending
   on how many dynamic elements and widgets are used, especially with complex Elementor
   layouts. This can sometimes result in unexpected 500 errors.
 * To help us investigate further, could you please enable the WordPress debug log
   and try editing the page again? Please set WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG to true,
   keep WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY disabled, and then share any errors from the debug.log 
   file. This will help us identify what is triggering the issue.
 * Since you have reached out to us directly as well, we have already replied there
   with some additional details and next steps.
 * Looking forward to your update.
