Prerequisites

  • I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
  • The issue still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

Description

  1. The original layout for my archive pages uses the Posts widget and card style.

original-archive-layout

  1. The dashboard indicates that there's an update for:
    Elementor
    You have version 2.1.6 installed. Update to 2.1.7.

After upgrading, instances of the Archive Posts widget in my Elementor archives template break. (see screenshot) Also instances of Post widget on my homepage.

elementor-upgrade-2 1 7 -breaks

  1. Using Elementor > Tools to roll back to version 2.1.6 results in my archive pages being broken in a different way. (see screenshot)

Steps to reproduce

I went back and started with a fresh copy of the site and the results after updating Elementor are the same.

Isolating the problem

  • This bug happens with only Elementor plugin active (and Elementor Pro).
  • This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active.
  • I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.
