 * Hi,
 * I am building a website for college on a local server using xamp. I installed
   astra and elementor and have had no issues until now.
    I was tying to import 
   a block from astra starter templates for my home page and the importing kept 
   going for nearly 30 mins. I closed it and tried to open the page to which i get
   the below message –
 * `Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Elementor\Elements_Manager::create_element_instance():

 * Other pages still appear to be working, i have turned all plugins off and the
   only one that appears to be the issue is the Elementor plug in as when this gets
   activated again, the error appears.
