Elementor plugin can't edit/load/blank page solution

There are many solutions for Elementor on the Internet, and it seems that many people have encountered this problem. Here is a summary of some common solutions:

1. Empty Browser Cache Clearing your browser cache is a basic operation that solves many webpage problems. Clear the browser cache all together and then refresh the page to see if it solves the problem. However, in the attempt, this step didn't work.
2. Turning off Cloudflare's Rocket Loader If Cloudflare is used, it is recommended to disable the "Rocket Loader" function in the background. This feature can sometimes conflict with the Elementor plugin. However, Cloudflare is not used, so this problem does not exist.
3. Changing Themes & Plugins Exclusion It was mentioned that there may be a conflict between the installed theme or plugin and the Elementor plugin. For this, the themes and plugins need to be disabled one by one to troubleshoot. Troubleshooting was also done, but did not resolve the issue.
4. WordPress file corruption, reinstallation If the WordPress files are corrupted, try reinstalling WordPress. it's kind of like reinstalling your system when something goes wrong with your computer. For problems that cannot be solved by any other method, you can try this method.

WordPress fixed link pseudo-static processing to solve Elementor plugin can not edit / load / blank page

Based on the above scenarios, all were tried, but none of them solved the problem. Later, I double checked and realized that the problem might be in the link settings. Tried to change the fixed link, and the result successfully solved the problem.

1. Change Fixed Link Type Enter WordPress background, select "Settings" -> "Fixed Links". Change the fixed link type to "Plain", save the settings, reload the page, Elementor can be loaded normally.
2. Add pseudo-static rules If you do not want to change the fixed link type to "plain", you can check and add pseudo-static rules. For example, the pseudo-static rule for Nginx can be set to:

location / {
    rewrite ^(. *)/equip(\d+).html$ $1/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=lists&catid=$2 last;
}

Or in the case of.htaccessfile to configure rewrite rules:

rewrite ^/contentlist([0-9]+).html$ /content/list.php?id=$1 last;

Depending on the specific server configuration, adjust the pseudo-static rules to ensure that Elementor works properly.

summarize

There are many ways to solve the problem that Elementor plugin can not edit/load/blank page, prompting "wp-json/elementor/v1/globals" 404 error. First of all, you can try to clear the browser cache, turn off Cloudflare's Rocket Loader function, troubleshoot theme and plugin conflicts, reinstall WordPress and other methods.
