Issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elementor does not work after the URL is changed when migrating the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One common issue caused by a URL mismatch is that custom fonts do not appear on the frontend<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Migration can cause the WordPress Address (URL)<\/strong> to be different from the Site Address (URL)<\/strong>. This can cause Elementor to not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Replace and regenerate URL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Follow these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In the left panel, click Tools<\/strong>.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click the Replace URL<\/strong> tab.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Under Update Site Address (URL)<\/strong>, enter the old url and new url.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Click the Replace URL<\/strong> button.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Click the General <\/strong>tab.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Click Clear Files & Data<\/strong>.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Click Save Changes<\/strong>.
    \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Verify the URLs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Follow the below steps<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. From WP Admin, navigate to Settings<\/strong>.
      \"\"
      This opens the General Settings screen.
