Critical Error when trying to use Pro Elements Settings

Hello,

The metadata of Elementor plugin was broken.

We’ve fixed that issue with this code:

<?php
/**
 * Fix Elementor corrupted metadata
 */
add_action('admin_init', 'fix_elementor_corrupted_meta');

function fix_elementor_corrupted_meta() {
    // Only run once
    if (get_option('elementor_meta_fixed')) {
        return;
    }
    
    global $wpdb;
    
    // Fix page settings that are strings instead of arrays
    $wpdb->query("
        UPDATE {$wpdb->postmeta}
        SET meta_value = 'a:0:{}'
        WHERE meta_key = '_elementor_page_settings'
        AND meta_value NOT LIKE 'a:%'
        AND meta_value NOT LIKE 's:0%'
    ");
    
    // Fix conditions cache that are strings instead of arrays
    $wpdb->query("
        UPDATE {$wpdb->postmeta}
        SET meta_value = 'a:0:{}'
        WHERE meta_key = '_elementor_conditions'
        AND meta_value NOT LIKE 'a:%'
    ");
    
    // Mark as fixed
    update_option('elementor_meta_fixed', true);
    
    // Clear Elementor cache
    if (class_exists('\Elementor\Plugin')) {
        \Elementor\Plugin::$instance->files_manager->clear_cache();
    }
}

Everything should be fine now.

Can you please double check?

Thank you!

Hello, tomatres,

The Elementor metadata issue has been resolved.
We temporarily added code to fix the problem and have since removed it.

You can now safely update the plugins.
