berendT-2	<b>Background of the issue: </b> I am trying to use Elementor with WPML. I encountered an issue when attempting this integration. The error log is as follows: [10-Jan-2025 11:05:19 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Elementor\Core\Schemes\Color" not found in /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Integrations/Elementor/LanguageSwitcher/WidgetAdaptor.php:156 Stack trace: #0 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Integrations/Elementor/LanguageSwitcher/Widget.php(50): WPML\PB\Elementor\LanguageSwitcher\WidgetAdaptor->registerControls() #1 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/base/controls-stack.php(2427): WPML\PB\Elementor\LanguageSwitcher\Widget->register_controls() #2 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/base/widget-base.php(1050): Elementor\Controls_Stack->init_controls() #3 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/base/controls-stack.php(569): Elementor\Widget_Base->init_controls() #4 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/base/widget-base.php(184): Elementor\Controls_Stack->get_stack() #5 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/managers/widgets.php(391): Elementor\Widget_Base->get_stack() #6 [internal function]: Elementor\Widgets_Manager->ajax_get_widget_types_controls_config() #7 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/common/modules/ajax/module.php(176): call_user_func() #8 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): Elementor\Core\Common\Modules\Ajax\Module->handle_ajax_request() #9 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters() #10 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action() #11 /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php(192): do_action() #12 {main} thrown in /home/u138139563/domains/oceldesign.com/public_html/stage2/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Integrations/Elementor/LanguageSwitcher/WidgetAdaptor.php on line 156 Perplexity.ai states that: "This error is caused by a compatibility issue between Elementor and the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin. The problem arises because Elementor has deprecated the Scheme_Color class, which WPML is still trying to use. " To temporarily fix this issue, I found that disabling the "WPML Language Switcher" element from Elementor's element manager allows Elementor to load again. This is of course not an ideal solution. <b>Symptoms: </b> Elementor doesn't load. The debug.log states a PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "ElementorCoreSchemesColor" not found. <b>Questions: </b> Could this compatibility issue between Elementor and WPML be looked into?
