Elementor Sites – Cannot login to Admin area after recent update

by James McDonald | Jun 15, 2026 | IT Tips | 0 comments

One of my Elementor Pro sites sent an email saying the below.

When I tried logging into /wp-admin there was a warning about a critical error, and no login form presented

Remove Elementor Plugins

I ended up removing the elementor plugins

tar -czvf backup.tar.gz /var/sites/example.com/html_root

# move the elementor plugins

mkdir ~/fix-elementor-error/
mv /var/sites/example.com/html_root/wp-content/plugins/elementor ~/fix-elementor-error/
mv /var/sites/example.com/html_root/wp-content/plugins/elementor-pro ~/fix-elementor-error/

Re-install and re-activate Elementor and Elementor-Pro

Log into the site and re-install and re-activate elementor (Using Plugins => Add Plugin => Search "elementor" => Install Now)

And downloaded the latest zip of and re-upload the elementor-pro plugin (elementor-pro-4.1.1.zip) and use the Upload Plugin button

Clear Files & Data and Caches

I also had to go into Elementor => Editor => Tools => General Tab and click the "Clear Files & Data" and "Sync Library"

Also an important step was clear any Caches that may be being used.
