If you’re seeing these messages after updating WordPress to version 6.7 and Elementor to version 3.26:

  • Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly.
  • Fatal Error: related to typography settings in Elementor and problems loading the Elementor widgets, as below examples

or

These issues happen because WordPress and Elementor updates have changed how things work, and the WpResidence theme and included plugins need to be updated to match.

How to Fix These Issues:

Temporarily Revert Elementor to an Older Version:

  • In your WordPress dashboard, go to Elementor > Tools > Version Control.
  • Choose a version before 3.26 and revert to it.

This will temporarily fix the error from Elementor

Update the WpResidence Theme and Its Plugins:

  • Back Up Your Website: Before making any changes, save a complete backup of your site, including all files and the database.
  • Update the Theme using the Envato Market Plugin. For detailed instructions, see How to Update the Theme. 
      • Install the Envato Market Plugin.
      • Set up the plugin with your Envato API Personal Token.
      • In the ‘Themes’ section, update WpResidence to the latest version
  • Update the WpResidence Core Plugin & WpResidence Elementor Add-on:
      • After updating the theme, go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
      • Update the WpResidence Core Functionality plugin to the latest version.
      • Update WpResidence Elementor Add-on to the latest version
  • Update the Child Theme:
      • If you’re using a child theme with custom changes, make sure it’s updated to work with the latest version of Bootstrap used in WpResidence.
      • wpresidence-child.zip from the Theme Pack you download from Envato contains an updated functions.php that is needed for the latest WpResidence version.

Very Important is to clear All Caches:

  • Theme Cache from Admin Bar, if it is enabled.  For more details, see Enable or Disable WpResidence Cache.
  • Browser Cache: Clear your browser’s cache to make sure you’re seeing the latest version of your site.
  • Plugin Cache: If you use 3rd party caching plugins, clear their caches too.

Update Elementor to the Latest Version:

  • After updating the theme and plugins, update Elementor to version 3.26.

This order of updates ensures everything works together properly.

Important Points to Remember:

  • Major Theme Update: The latest WpResidence update includes big changes, like switching to Bootstrap 5. This improves performance and design options but may affect customizations. Check the WpResidence Change Log for details.
  • Child Theme Adjustments: If you’ve made custom changes in a child theme, especially in functions.php, make sure it’s compatible with Bootstrap 5. You might need to update your custom code.
  • Testing: After all updates, thoroughly check your website to make sure everything works as expected.

Following these steps should fix the notices and errors caused by the recent updates to WordPress and Elementor.
