 * I encountered a problem with not being able to edit with Elementor Pro. I would
   go the link on page to edit with Elementor and get a warning that Elemntor couldn’t
   edit the page.`
 * So I went into the file manager on my server and renamed the Plugins folder to
   disable the plug-ins and see if I cold find the conflicting plugin. Never found
   it.
 * I renamed the plug-ins folder back to “plugins” and when I now view my WP admin
   panel “installed Plugins” I get an error page “There has been a critical error
   on this website”. Everything that I made on the website is gone. I can’t access
   my installed plugins page, I get the same error message. On the rest f the pages
   I get a “activate Elementor” button that when clicked gives me the same error
   as above.
 * I also looked at the pages for the “edit with Elementor” link under the page 
   title.
 * I am running PHP 7.4.
 * Any help would be appreciated.`
 * Thanks,
    Chris

 * To check the cause of the critical error, I would recommend you to take a look
   at the error log of your hosting. If that is not informative, the debug mode 
   of WordPress might help: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
