How to fix the ‘Publish/Update button not Working on Elementor’ issue?

Some of the most common causes for the ‘Publish/Update button not working on Elementor’ include:

1. PHP memory size limit: It’s always better to have 128 MB or more of PHP memory. The Elementor can only work properly with enough PHP memory size. We can also contact the hosting provider to increase your PHP memory limit.
2. Server parameter value: Occasionally, the value of a server parameter is to blame for this ‘update/publish’ malfunction. Add an SSL certificate to the website to prevent server parameter value conflicts. We may quickly add an SSL certificate if the website doesn’t already have one. The majority of well-known hosting providers offer SSL certificate functionality by default. Add the SSL certificate to the WordPress website by getting in touch with the hosting company.
3. WordPress script timeout: The WordPress admin-ajax.php script’s timeout and failure to load could interfere with the ‘update or publish’. Utilizing the Inspect Tools functionality of the browser, we can verify this. Anywhere on the website, use the right mouse button to select the inspect option. The problem is script timeout if we see any errors like “Failed to load resources” after going to the console tab. We can include the below code to fix this issue:

   
4. Security plugin issues: When trying to update a page, we get a 403 error. This can be because of a security plugin like WordFence or another one. Use the learning mode of this plugin. This needs to be confirmed with the hosting provider as the problem could be caused by the server’s firewall.
