Title: Getting PHP Warnings from Elementor Causing Site Performance Issues Last modified: July 29, 2025 --- # Getting PHP Warnings from Elementor Causing Site Performance Issues * Resolved [syedazeem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syedazeem/) * (@syedazeem) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-php-warnings-from-elementor-causing-site-performance-issues/) * Hi Team, * I’m using Elementor Free (latest version) with Astra theme (free version) and Premium Addons for Elementor (free). I’m encountering repeated PHP warnings in my error log that seem to be related to Elementor. * Here are the exact errors: * [28-Jul-2025 11:29:54 UTC] PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “post_content” on null in /wp-content/plugins/premium-addons-for-elementor/widgets/ [28-Jul- 2025 11:29:54 UTC] PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “post_title” on null in /wp-content/plugins/premium-addons-for-elementor/widgets/[28-Jul-2025 11:29: 54 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined array key “id” in /wp-content/plugins/elementor/ includes/controls/groups/image-size.php on line 110 * My hosting provider has confirmed these warnings are caused by Elementor-related code and are affecting performance. I’ve noticed SEO issues — my keyword rankings are fluctuating, going up and then suddenly dropping. * Could you please guide me on how to fix this? I’m not a backend developer, so I need a clear solution. * Thanks in advance! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgetting-php-warnings-from-elementor-causing-site-performance-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Support [Rica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ricav/) * (@ricav) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-php-warnings-from-elementor-causing-site-performance-issues/#post-18577220) * Hi there, * Thank you for reaching out with these details. I can see exactly what’s causing these PHP warnings, and the good news is that this is clearly due to a conflict with a third-party plugin. * Looking at your error logs, the majority of these issues are coming from the “ Premium Addons for Elementor” plugin, which is a third-party extension and not part of core Elementor. The first two warnings specifically mention the Premium Addons plugin folder as the source, which means that plugin is trying to access content that doesn’t exist. * To fix this, I recommend temporarily deactivating the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin and checking your error logs for the next day or two. If the warnings stop appearing, that confirms the plugin is causing the problem. Once you’ve confirmed this, you’ll need to contact the Premium Addons for Elementor support team directly since they need to fix the code in their plugin. You can also check if they have a newer version available that might have already fixed this issue. * Please let me know how the deactivation test goes, and I’ll be happy to help further! * Best regards, * Thread Starter [syedazeem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syedazeem/) * (@syedazeem) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-php-warnings-from-elementor-causing-site-performance-issues/#post-18578066) * Hi Rica, * Thank you for your detailed response and for identifying the source of the issue. * I understand that the warnings are stemming from the **Premium Addons for Elementor** plugin. However, I’ve used a significant portion of my site’s layout and features through this plugin, and temporarily deactivating it would likely break or crash several critical pages and functionalities. * Is there any alternative solution you can recommend that doesn’t involve deactivating the plugin—such as: - Suppressing PHP warnings via `wp-config.php` temporarily? - Using a plugin conflict scanner or log filter to isolate the exact element causing the issue? - Any safe way to test this in a staging environment instead of the live site? * Additionally, I will reach out to the Premium Addons support team as you suggested to check if they have a fix or update available. * Looking forward to your guidance. * Best regards, * Plugin Support [Milos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miloss84/) * (@miloss84) * [10 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-php-warnings-from-elementor-causing-site-performance-issues/#post-18584099) * Hi there, * Thank you for contacting me again. * We completely understand your concern about the impact of deactivating the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin, especially when it plays a major role in your site’s layout and functionality. Unfortunately, as this issue originates from the plugin itself, our ability to intervene directly is quite limited. While we’d truly like to help more, in this case our hands are tied, as the problem lies within third-party code that we don’t maintain or controlThat said, here are a few suggestions that might help you manage the situation until the plugin developers provide a fix: * 1. You can temporarily disable PHP warnings by editing your wp-config.php file and adding the following line: error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE); Keep in mind: This will hide the warnings from your logs/front-end, but won’t resolve the root cause.2. Use a staging site: If you’re concerned about breaking functionality, we highly recommend setting up a staging environment (many hosts offer this with one click). That way, you can safely deactivate the plugin or test different versions without affecting your live site.3. Plugin conflict scanner: Tools like Health Check & Troubleshooting can help you test conflicts in “Troubleshooting Mode” without affecting site visitors. * Finally, as you’ve already planned, reaching out to the Premium Addons support team is the best course of action. They will be able to review the specific warnings and determine whether a patch or update is available. * Please let us know if you need help setting up a staging site or if there’s anything else we can do within our scope. * Warm regards, Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Getting PHP Warnings from Elementor Causing Site Performance Issues’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/elementor/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3444228) * [Elementor Website Builder - more than just a page builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/reviews/) * 4 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Milos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miloss84/) * Last activity: [10 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-php-warnings-from-elementor-causing-site-performance-issues/#post-18584099) * Status: resolved
