Widget Area disappeared under Appearance -> Widget Wordpress - wordpress

If I go to Widgets (via Appearance), I see the available widgets on the left and on the right I see nothing. A while ago everything was normal. Also the website still looks normal. But I can’t change anything anymore! Can somebody help me please?
Wordpress Ver: WordPress 4.7.4

There are lots of reason behind this problem. Might be the issue is your theme or plugin interference.
Do the following step:
1) first of all take your database backup.
2) I think you need to check your current WordPress and all plugins version which you have installed. If you found any old version then please update all these things.
3) Change your theme to another WordPress default version such as TwentySixteen and see if the widget areas come back.
4) Finally, if nothing works then try to disable all plugins and check any plugins conflict with your version?
Hope this guide will help you.
Thanks.

Elementor ruins page layout

I use Astra (latest version) and Elementor 3.64, tried to switch off every plugin, clear cache, restore CSS and change CSS setting to external file, nothing helps.
I have some products in my catalog, and those product posts that I have created previously seem to have no problem with CSS.
But when I create a new product, the page has no margins or paddings whatsoever. The most interesting thing is that when I start editing previous product posts, the margins and paddings also disappear there. That's why I try not to change other "healthy" posts with Elementor, because it ruins them.
I tried looking at the CSS code through F12, it shows that CSS codes for ast-separate-container and ast-woocommerce-container simply disappear and I have no clue why that happens. Other pages that I haven't opened with Elementor have these code lines with all margins and paddings. Somebody help?

Ruined page:

Have you tried updating Elementor to version 3.7.0 before?
I've got news from some friends that there is a bug in version 3.7.0 which makes some layouts messy, they say downgrading still doesn't change anything.
The only way they fix the messy layouts problem is with restore the database if you have any backup for the version on date where you feel everything is still fine.
Elementor developer team will work hard to fix this bugs in the next update. I am sure of it

Wordpress Image Watermark Plugins didn't working

I install a plugin called Image Watermark in my WordPress site, it doesn't work at all, I tried to bulk the image library, it says successfully but the watermark didn't show up at all.
So I want to try to find where the problem is, but how to do this? If I just use the wp_debug it'll show too many errors (it's an old website from 2004).
I already tried to google how to fix Image Watermark WordPress plugin, etc. but I can't found the answer, right now I'm using the latest version of WordPress 4.9.5 and the latest Image Watermark version 1.6.4.
And I already tried to search other plugins for watermarking, but some already gone, and some already not compatible, and the most recommended is this plugin. The Image Watermark but it doesn't work at all, Please help.
Sorry for this silly question just learned Wordpress codes 2 weeks ago.
Please check you have done the correct configuration of the plugin.

Wordpress site deletes the edits I made

I would need some help with my Wordpress site.
I made a lot of change in my theme (one-page-express):
added some plugins and edited the code as well (I only edited header.php, header-homepage.php, footer.php and style.css).
For a while everything looks okay but then after a few hours it seems to auto delete the changes I made in the editor.
Keeps the new plugins and its edits though, but all the code gets restored to default.
Anyone has any idea why is it happening and how could I fix it?
I learnt coding/Wordpress by myself so I might have missed some crucial point, I don’t know.
Thanks anyone who can help me!
First, try to desactive yours plugins one by one and check if you have something new. And be sure to have correctly crushed your old files (In you FTP manager, you can see the last date of editting a file, don't miss something ;))
NEVER make changes in an existing theme if you want them to persist. Use a child theme to do so. I guess you pressed the update button (as you should). Updating a theme will remove/delete the current theme (all files) and download the latest version. This might look and feel like 'auto-delete'.

Moving a Menu in Wordpress Admin panel is not working

I am trying to move a menu one level up from the list, by accessing it via the WP Admin Panel --> Appearance --> Menus
The problem is, when I try to move the menu by clicking and dragging it like before, it just adds blank boxes below it, like in the screenshot!
I had even upgraded the Wordpress to 3.8.1. But still facing this issue!
Please pardon me if Stackoverflow is not the right place to ask this question. Please move to the respective child sites of Stackoverflow, if this question is not apt for here.
Thank you

EDIT
The following is what am seeing in Google Chrome's Javascript console:
When I searched in Google, the main cause for this is multiple declaration of jQuery. The above error points to the Pluto theme which is being bought.
It was found that, jQuery multiple version conflict was causing this issue.
And got it resolved finally, after updating the Pluto theme. Please note that, I have already updated the Wordpress to the latest version too.
Thanks #Manolis and #Howlin for their help.
I also Facing same Problem.
This problem can be solved directly by Installing this plugin

WordPress - Changed directory and images do not appear

I changed the folder that my WordPress installation was in.
However, this worked fine, except now all my images are not showing up.
The problem is that each post has the full url of the image in it. (not my doing, this seems to be the default setting)
Is there a tool or a quick fix available for this?
There is a Update URLs plugin for Wordpress to help you with that. Hope that helps!
You need to update your settings to reflect the directory change on the settings page in your admin section.
Edit:
Since it seems to be a problem in the posts themselves, you'll probably have to write a quick fixme script that runs through your post table searches for '="/' or something similar and updates any hardcoded links.
