This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where a warning box appears when editing a page using Elementor, and they want to make WordPress Editor the default editor instead.
Solution:
To disable the WPML Editor and make WordPress Editor the default, follow these steps:
1. Edit a post/page in the original language.
2. Go to the right column and find the Language block.
3. Click on WordPress Editor.
4. In the popup window, select the scope of the change to 'All Site Content' and save the changes.
This will apply the WordPress Editor for future edits, but it will not affect existing translations.
For detailed guidance, refer to the documentation here: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.

Additionally, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to turn off the warning box that appears when editing a page using Elementor on the site hidden link. I want to make WordPress Editor the default editor.

Symptoms:
Our users always see the box "Warning: Edits you're about to make will be lost" when trying to edit a page using Elementor.

Questions:
How do I turn off the warning box completely?
How can I make WordPress Editor the default editor?
