Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Regarding the spam messages, we would recommend you contact the support of the Elementor plugin – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/ and read these articles -https://elementor.com/help/block-spam-messages-from-forms/ https://elementor.com/help/enable-disable-email-logging/
As for the Elementor database update process, it is a standard procedure that ensures your website functions correctly. However, if it is running continuously, we recommend checking for any pending updates in Elementor and WordPress. You may also try deactivating and reactivating Elementor to see if this resolves the issue.
Our theme is fully compatible with Elementor, offering extensive customization options. However, if you prefer, you may opt to use an alternative page builder such as WPBakery or the default WordPress editor, Gutenberg (Disable Gutenberg styles > Off in Theme Options > Speed Optimization).
We would also like to inform you that if you wish to switch from WPBakery to Elementor, it will be necessary to recreate the content of your pages as there is no migration tool that can automatically transfer content from one builder to another. To ensure minimal disruption to your existing site, we recommend creating a staging site (a copy of your existing site) and updating it page by page. Or delete old demo content that was created using Elementor https://imgur.com/tRQiXkE and then import the WPBakery demo version.
We hope this information is helpful.
Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
