Updating Essential Add-ons for Elementor Just Borked My Site!

(Edited 10/19/2020)

So you updated Essential Add-ons for Elementor and your site just Borked (Broke) all which ways. CSS Slammed to the left side of the Page, One Module you used on half of the site is now just all over in the Template Box you put it in, or worse the whole site won’t load at all and you don’t have a backup. Well… You are in some luck as you have some things to try here. Never do we say things are over until we say they are, right! There’s always Help For WordPress on Help4WordPress.com too.

You will first want to go into your WordPress Dashboard and navigate like this WordPress Dashboard -> Essential Add-ons -> Tools -> JS Print Method ‘External File’ -> Save Settings. After this, I would suggest click Regenerate Assets just for good measure.

If that didn’t work then make sure you cleared the cache of your Content Delivery Network and also any Cache Plugins you have installed on the site. This will ensure all of the regenerating and clearing of internal files you did is cleared from their cache too. Most CDN’s will automatically grab your .js and .css files without any input from you to assist in making your site faster for users. It like most measures to assist in site speed have an inherent downside.

If all else fails then I am betting the people over at https://wpdeveloper.net/ will get you straightened out. If you have a Subscription Plan with https://help4wordpress.com though we will handle it for you and probably already know there is an issue. As we are on your site 24/7 monitoring and surfing through pages to see if errors occur.

*Disclaimer* The Help 4 Network and Help 4 WordPress Receive NO Referral or Paid Promotion for this post. We are just avid users and lovers of Elementor and the Various Plugins like Essential Add-ons for Elementor by WPDeveloper.net. Even when we hate it because it broke on us lol!

How Protecting Your WordPress Now Can Save You Large Amounts In The Future

Recently a known and widely used WordPress Plugin Named FileManager has come under fire for some pretty lose ways it can be exploited. Even more so the slowness in the Designers and Developers that use it to attempt to patch the vulnerability to protect their clients is insane. Designers and Developers have known about this issue for months and have done little to nothing about it. At the time of writing this, the new version 6.9 is 8 hours old and should correct most of the ways attackers are gaining access to these sites.

However the sites that have Help 4 WordPress w/Silver or higher Monthly Membership’s have been protected since this exploit was found and brought to light. The Web Application Firewall we use to protect our clients is from a top notch supplier that we cannot name as we do not have their permissions, but we have personally had some of our “GREY HAT” tech’s attempt to bypass this companies setup with little to no luck in most field studies. Not to say that it doesn’t happen because no lock is 100%.

With that said we also have the same company to clean up sites when the Web Application Firewall (WAF) isn’t enough. Then we add in the daily backup’s we do on all of our systems for every site we have on our systems. (Hosting requires Silver Monthly Package or Higher) So with all of the ways we protect our clients from the hazards of owning a WordPress Website or ANY WEBSITE for that matter, why would you ever allow any cut rate company handle your biggest or 2nd biggest revenue streams you have?
