Thanks @humayonk . Unfortunately I can’t update to 4.13.8 through the normal route — my site is hosted on Flywheel, and 4.13.8 is not being offered in the WordPress dashboard updater (Dashboard → Updates shows “Your themes are all up to date,” with Astra still at 4.13.7). It looks like 4.13.8 may not have hit the public WordPress.org theme directory yet, or Flywheel’s mirror hasn’t picked it up.
I also tried updating Elementor to 4.2.2 on my staging site to see if that side resolved the mismatch, but the editor still fails — the element tree still loads empty and the boot requests error out.
Could you please either (1) confirm when 4.13.8 will be available on the public WordPress.org directory, or (2) send me the fixed dev build zip directly (the same one you provided in the “Fatal error saving posts: WP_Error::get_data() in class-astra-elementor.php” thread) so I can install it manually on my staging site to test? I’d rather validate the fix on staging before touching production. Thanks!

I’m getting a reproducible PHP fatal error in Astra’s Elementor compatibility file, and it appears to break the Elementor editor.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_data() in /wp-content/themes/astra/inc/compatibility/class-astra-elementor.php:388
Environment: Astra 4.13.7 (latest, no update available); active theme is an Astra child theme; Elementor 4.2.1 and Elementor Pro 4.2.1; WordPress 7.0.2; PHP 8.x.
It looks like line 388 calls ->get_data() on a value it expects to be an Elementor object, but Elementor 4.2.1 is returning a WP_Error object instead (which uses get_error_data(), not get_data()), and there is no is_wp_error() guard before the call, so PHP crashes.
This fatal fires on the Elementor editor’s REST request. The practical symptom is that the Elementor editor opens with a completely empty element tree on every page (canvas shows “Drag widget here”), even though the saved _elementor_data is fully intact and the front-end renders normally.
Questions: (1) Is this a known incompatibility between Astra 4.13.7 and Elementor 4.2.x, and is there a patch or hotfix? (2) Is there a known-good Astra version that is compatible with Elementor 4.2.1? (3) In the meantime, is there a safe, supported workaround (e.g., a filter or a guard) you would recommend?
Happy to provide any additional logs or details. Thank you!
