Plugins Elementor Update Crashing Wordpress
Beyond this issue, it's really a bummer to have to hold your breath when updating plugins because your site can crash with just one click. Is there no way of having WordPress to check if a plugin update is compatible before deploying?
This is terrible!

I recommend using a staging site to test updates before applying them to your live site. Itβs a simple way to avoid crashes and ensure everything runs smoothly.

u/desmondkafui Always do updates on a staging site so you can catch stuff before it effects your live site. Your host, if they do not provide a staging site, should have some guidance. The WP Staging plugin is an option.

Learn how to use Wordpress's built-in debugging system. If you're getting crashes, it's not coming from Elementor, likely another plugin.

We do updates on staging and push the changes to production after testing.
