 * Hi, thanks for the plugin. I’m building a site using Astra child theme, Elementor&
   Header Footer Elementor on WordPress 4.9.5, locally on xampp on mac os. This 
   has been great — until I activated Ninja Forms, then I immediately get a WP_Debug
   notice:
 * Notice: is_search was called incorrectly. Conditional query tags do not work 
   before the query is run.
 * To troubleshoot, I activated the default 2017 theme and deactivated all plugins,
   then reactivated one at a time. The problem appears to be a combination of Ninja
   Forms 3.2.27, Elementor 2.0.11 and Header Footer Elementor 1.0.12. All three 
   need to be active to cause the error.
 * I also tried activating the parent Astra theme, problem persists.
 * Cheers

 * Does the problem disappear if you deactivate our plugin? It will be great if 
   you could get in touch from our website and lodge a support ticket, so we can
   take a closer look for you: [https://wpastra.com/contact](https://wpastra.com/contact)

 * Hi, thanks for the response — I’ll lodge a support ticket as requested. Yes, 
   the problem disappears if any of those three plugins are deactivated. I was using
   Elementor and Header Footer Elementor fine until I installed Ninja Forms, so 
   seems to be some kind of interaction between the plugins.

 * Hello [@mantap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mantap/),
 * We have just pushed out an updated version v1.0.13 which should fix this warning
   appearing when WP_DEBUG is enabled.
