 * Hi there,
 * I’m not sure why but the Update button does not work today. I have spent many
   hours editing the website but I lost all of my work because the Update did not
   work. It does not show any error when I click it, it just does not work.
 * This issue has never happened before.
 * Why does this happen and is there any way to fix this?
 * Thank you,
    Elya

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, my site is currently in Coming Soon 
   mode so you will not be able to check it. However, I have recorded a video the
   issue. Please kindly check the issue via the video in the link below:

 * In case you need some of my system info, please kindly check below:
    + PHP version:
   7.4.30 (Supports 64bit values) + PHP memory limit: 512M + Theme: Hello Elementor(
   Version 2.6.1) + WP version: 6.0.1 + Elementor version: 3.7.0
 * FYI, 2 days ago I added a code into the functions.php file of the theme to disable
   right-click on the site. I don’t think this code cause any issue related to the
   Elementor “Update” button. but in case you need to know the code, please take
   a look at it as below:
 *     ```
       /*Disable right click */
       function disable_right_click() {
          ?>
       <script>
       jQuery(document).ready(function(){
           jQuery(document).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
               return false;
           });
       });
       </script>
       <?php
       }
       add_action('wp_footer', 'disable_right_click');
   
       /*code ends */
       ```
   
 * Thank you and I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!

 * Hi,
 * I think I have found the issue. I notice that the Update button will stop working
   only when I use “Paste Style” option when editing the site. If I edit the site
   manually one by one without using the “Paste Style” option to speed up the process,
   the Update button would still work.
 * I think the newest version of Elementor 3.7.0 has caused this issue, which never
   happened in the past. Please kindly look into this product and fix this because
   I have heard that many people have the same issue as I do ever since this update.
 * Thank you for your help!
    Best regards, Elya

 * Hi,
 * I have been waiting for days but I don’t hear anything back from you. How is 
   it going? Will Elementor resolve this problem soon or what should I do?

 * Hi,
 * To troubleshoot the issue please try this guideline:
 * Regenerate the CSS via Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS on your WordPress Dashboard.(
   Make sure to back up your site).
 * Clear all cache: your browser’s cache, other plugins’ cache, server cache (if
   possible).
 * If the issue persists, deactivate all plugins apart from Elementor. If this helps,
   reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.
 * If it didn’t help, switch your theme (temporarily) to a default WordPress theme
   such as Twenty Sixteen and see if it makes any difference.
 * From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Elementor > Settings > Experiments.
   Change all of the experiments to Inactive. Click Save Changes.

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for your instruction!
 * I have followed these steps and it does not help; however, I found out that Premium
   Addons for Elementor plugin is the culprit. I guess there’s some conflict between
   your codes and their codes after the new update.
 * I will contact them to see if they can help.
 * Thank you again for your help!

 * Hi,
 * Since the issue is caused when the plugin is activated, we have no control over
   coding for third-party plugins.
 * Glad to hear that you have found the culprit.

   issue.
