    08 Troubleshooting

    Why do I see an error when I export my layout that the images could not be retrieved?
    In order for the layout upload process to be successful, all images referenced in the layout that are stored beneath your site’s uploads URL must be publicly accessible so that our system can retrieve them. For example, uploading a layout with images will not work if the images are in the site’s uploads directory (or a subdirectory) and that directory’s URL (as identified by your WordPress installation) is at localhost or an address on your local network that is not accessible from the outside. A failure may also occur if the uploads URL has an SSL certificate problem.
    If these limitations pose problems for you, please contact support to let us know! We may implement changes in a future version of the plugin to address these limitations if they are a problem for our users.

    I’m trying to import a layout in Elementor, but where is the My WP Layouts tab?
    Please make sure you are running Elementor version 2.7 or higher, as we do not support prior versions.

    Why doesn’t my layout’s thumbnail look like the layout?
    Our thumbnail generation feature still needs refinement. Please bear with us for the time being!

    When I preview multiple layouts, why do I see a different layout that the one I expected?
    This may happen if you preview multiple layouts in quick succession. Please try previewing the layout again.
