Elementor says - "Sorry, the content area was not found in your page. " while using custom shortcode

I am using default theme of Elementor Plugin. Plugin is very nice but I am facing issue while using my custom shortcode in page. It shows “Sorry, the content area was not found in your page. You must call
the_content function in the current template, in order for Elementor to work on this page.”

To solve this error, I have added <?php the_content(); ?> in my custom shortcode but it shows the same error.
I have also tried by creating a custom template, but the result is same.
So please help me to solve this error. Any suggestions are acceptable.
Thanks in Advance
Probably your shortcode function changes the post query.
try adding wp_reset_query(); before the function closes.

content area not found in my page with elementor

I just started with Wordpress and I published a website a few weeks ago. Today I wanted to edit the homepage, but I get the following error:
Sorry, the content area was not found in your page. You must call the_content function in the current template, in order for Elementor to work on this page.
I haven't edited my homepage and it worked perfectly a couple of weeks ago. Is there someone that can help me fix this issue?
If you are using any shortcode on your page and you are fetching post on that page and looping through the post in a while loop. Please add this after the loop ends. No sure why but this always cause issue for me.
wp_reset_postdata();
Code will look like this:
$posts= new WP_Query($args);
while ($posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post();
.....
.....
.....
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
It doesn't matter it's a shortcode or what if we are doing something like above make sure to add wp_reset_postdata();
This is one of the issues that I usually face. There can be other reasons too.
Probably you've edited the page template from Templates -> Theme Builder -> Single. Anyway, even if you don't, you can fix it that way: Go to Templates -> Theme Builder -> Single -> Add New, then select page and create a template for all single pages (make sure that you drag the page content widget in the template). This should overwrite your theme single page template (which misses the content function).
Just make sure your 'Home Page' and 'Posts Page' are different, otherwise you get your page mixed up and this error occurs.. Worked for me!
You can verify this setting in Appearance>Customize>Homepage Settings :)
The Answer to this error is to check the structure of your permalinks. Try to save your permalinks one more time. Also, try to change the permalink structure to “Plain”. Some servers do not allow to write to the .htaccess file and as a matter of fact, you cannot always modify your permalink structure and edit with Elementor.
I found myself in the same place yesterday and freaked for a moment and did some research to find out why I was receiving the error and came across this page. Believe for me it occurred due to the situation Ed Jones posted about above, I had inadvertently edited the post template. But a fast and easy fix was to go back to an earlier revision of the page in my history. That solved my problem quickly.
Add the_content() at the end of your templates

Wordpress excerpt not working?

I am using wordpress eduma Learn press plugin. The courses page excerpt box is there but text is not displaying. can you please help me? Other pages meta tags is displayed
Add below code in your theme
add_post_type_support('page', 'excerpt');
So is the problem that when viewing the page, the whole content is shown instead of just an excerpt?
If so, try to find the appropriate theme file and if it uses:
the_content();
replace it with:
the_excerpt();

Only the left menu toolbar is showing up on Wordpress admin

When I log in to my Wordpress admin, only the left menu toolbar is showing. Nothing else is displaying. The website front end works fine.
What I've done so far to investigate:
Renamed plugins folder to pluginz to make sure none of the plugins are doing this
Made sure there is no javascript error on the page
Made sure there is no 404 errors
Temporarily removed .htaccess to eliminate possible htaccess issues
Made sure there is no fatal php error thrown on admin
Any idea what might be going on?
I was able to fix the issue with help from here :
To fix the bug:
Open file blog/wp-admin/includes/screen.php in your favorite text editor.
On line 706 find the following PHP statement: <?php echo self::$this->_help_sidebar; ?>
Replace it with the statement: <?php echo $this->_help_sidebar; ?>
Save your changes.

wp sidebar and footer (widget areas) disappeared

I am using the Adapt theme by wp-explorer. Though I have done quite a few css edits, everything was working fine until recently. Now my wp theme is missing the sidebar and footer areas. For example http://www.mipsmusic.com/media/ should have a sidebar on the right and a footer on the bottom. In the wp-admin area the widget area is gone. (There are still widgets, but no widget areas to drag n drop the widgets into)
I have tried:
deactivating all plugins
checking single.php for <?php get_sidebar(); ?> and <?php get_footer(); ?> and the tags are right there at the bottom of the page.
switching to the twenty eleven theme to see if it was a theme problem.
The results were the same in each case: no sidebar, no footer, and no widget areas in the back end.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to do a fresh wp install manually? If so, does anyone know a good tutorial for it - I don't want to lose all my edits.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I tried the wordpress debugging and in the widget area and I believe this is my problem...but what do I do to fix this?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function dynamic_sidebar()
There is a fatal PHP error right as your sidebar begins. You can see this if you look at the source of the page (View Source):
</article>
<!-- /post -->
<aside id="sidebar" class="clearfix">
That is the very end of your document. Those are the last lines. That is where the fatal error occurs, which stops the generation of the page. Either there is an error in your theme, or in a widget. Enable debugging and it should give you a hint. Edit your answer to include that information and I will try to help more. Until then, this is the best answer I've got.
Edit:
The undefined function error you posted suggests a broken WordPress install, not a problem with the widgets themselves. dynamic_sidebar is a core WordPress function. It should not ever really be 'undefined'. I would suggest re-uploading the wp-includes and wp-admin folders to your site. Sounds like you have missing or corrupt files.
