Privacy Badger Breaks Elementor Template Library
What is your browser and browser version?
Firefox 74
What is broken and where?
The Elementor WordPress plugin template library does not work. It appears to be because the template library calls images from library.elementor.com and this is automatically blocked by Privacy Badger.

Hello and thanks for the report! I'm a bit confused though: how did Privacy Badger learn to block elementor.com if it was only seen tracking on a single site? I understand you may not wish to share the specific site(s), but not having actual examples makes it hard to understand what's going on.
Sorry, new to reporting this. Elementor Pro is installed on several WordPress sites that I manage. If someone has the pro version of Elementor and you load a template then it looks like library.elementor.com is called. I noted Privacy Badger was blocking it, I white listed library.elementor.com and everything started working again. Anyone that installs Elementor Pro and accesses the templates will have the website call library.elementor.com via php. Does that help?
Is this something that would happen to a regular site visitor, or only to the site administrators? (Can you reproduce the problem in a new profile without logging in to WordPress?)
