Hi @nathansimons ,
I followed your "Steps to reproduce" could not find the issue.
P.S. if it's an Elementor bug, we need steps to recreate it in other Elementor sites. Otherwise, we won't be able to find the bug and fix it. If it's and issue on your site, it's not a necessary an Elementor bug.
I am also experiencing this error on the admin side when loading the Elementor editor. This causes the editor not to fully load and the elementor-panel-state-loading node to hide the options needed to begin editing (See image). My website is snlphilly.com
Hi @fatimaburke
As mentioned above, we need "Steps to reproduce" to recreate the issue in other environments. If we cant recreate the issue in other sites, we won't be able to fix the issue, as it can be a unique case for your site. Maybe one of the Elementor Addons, one of the WordPress plugins or a bas server configuration.
I have same issue. I can confirm that it's related to Elementor's page transitions & preloader feature. If I disable this features, then there is no error. Please check it.
@rami-elementor Steps to reproduce:
- Activate Elementor
- Activate Elementor Pro
- Activate any theme but I'm using Hello theme
- Make sure you are loading Font Awesome via Elementor
- Turn on Page Transitions
- On the frontend, you will see this error in the console:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'a' has already been declared (at instant-page.min.js?ver=3.7.3:formatted:1:1)
This is because instant-page.min.js is trying to declare const a (line 7) which is already declare by Font Awesome v4-shims.min.js. These are global variables in external libraries so I'm not sure how you will solve that. Honestly, I think Alexandre Diuelot needs to refactor his instant page script to not use const vars in the global scope. Or at least rename so they aren't as common as single letters. Or just use let.
Same issue here.... Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'a' has already been declared (at instant-page.min.js?ver=3.7.5:1:1)
Got the same issue. But when i deactivated a 3rd party plugin related to elementor, it is working.
just go in general => permalink and revalidate your permalink and the problem is solved normaly
I got this when adding the plugin "Royal Elementor Addons". Disabling page transitions and font awesome didn't fix it.
I can confirm Page Transitions create this error. Disabling them “fixed it”.
Same problem and same solution, disabling Page Transitions in Elementor/Settings/Experiments. Elementor 3.81 with Elementor Pro 3.8.0.
I am also facing this issue, I can also confirm that Page Transitions create this error. Disabling them “fixed it”. Elementor - 3.10.0 Elementor Pro - 3.10.1
I can confirm Page Transitions create this error. Disabling them “fixed it”.
I am surprised that such an experiment team as Elementor cannot figure out this issue after nearly a year! I am also experiencing the same error (I use Elementor Pro), I am not complaining but it's really disappointing to see plugin developers more concentrating on developing new features rather than to fix existing bugs/issues to make the system better...
May 2023 and the error still persists, it still occurs when using page transitions. Disabling this feature prevents the error, but it is a necessary feature for me. I hope the Elementor team pays attention to this long-standing bug.
I can confirm Page Transitions create this error. Disabling them “fixed it”.
We have the same issue with v4-shims.min.js, any way to disable the v4-shims.min.js file?
It's now July 2023 and the error is still persisting, despite the fact that it gets resolved when the Page transition is disabled. @rami-elementor, instead of continuously saying that you cannot reproduce the error and therefore cannot assist, it would be more proactive to request temporary access to a staging environment and investigate the issue yourself. That's a normal procedure for all the plugin troubleshooting. Really dissapointing!
Same issue here ... +1
It's disappointing how the Elementor development team handles issues like this. We are a small marketing agency, and this is our first Elementor site. We are thinking about switching from Gutenberg to Elementor. But since the support team doesn't seem to care about our problems, I'm not sure it's a good idea anymore.
Same issue here ... +1 We are getting the same JS-error. Elementor editor is not loading.
ran into this issue with the Theme Builder templates (regular pages were fine). Editor would not load. confirming that going to Elementor > Settings > Features and disabling Page Transitions (setting to Inactive) worked.
I got the same problem, after enabling the DEBUG mode, I found out it was caused by a "lack of memory".
This is the debug log:
[07-Aug-2023 23:31:23 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 305487872) (tried to allocate 16084992 bytes) in .../wp-includes/functions.php on line 4256
I simply changed my hosting plan and added more memory and the issue was resolved.
Hope it helps.
caused by a "lack of memory".
This bug is about a client-side JS error. Your solved problem must be unrelated, @emami-io .
As for this issue, proof it can be solved by wrapping the instant.page plugin in an IIFE (it's honestly amazing it isn't already by that script's dev):
Find wp-content/plugins/elementor-pro/assets//lib/instant-page/instant-page.min.js and edit it. Wrap the entire code in IIFE like this:
(function(){
// plugins code here, e.g.: let t,.....
})();
Voila, no more error. Obviously this file will be overwritten upon update of Elementor, and thus your change reverted, which is why the Elementor devs should fix this. @rami-elementor
Also, why is instant.page js when set to active/default only active on Elementor editing pages? Anyway, I'm disabling this Elementor feature.
Looks like no one from Elementor has looked at this unresolved bug and ongoing issue since rami-elementor on Jul 20, 2022???
I am also seeing this error in the browser console when I try to edit certain pages ("edit with Elementor"). The error goes away when I switch off the "Page Transition" feature.
