PHP Fatal error: if Elementor Pro is not enable

[pako69]

Hi

In all the pages of our website I use a specific plugin (https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/) to disable not required plugins : It make my page load faster.

On some pages I do not need Elementor Pro, but just Elementor Free. On some pages I do not need Elementor at all.

But the issue is I get this fatal error when I access to a page where Elementor Pro has been disabled:

[25-Sep-2020 16:03:45 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'ElementorPro\Modules\Posts\Skins\Skin_Base' not found in /home/sandbox/mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/ele-custom-skin/skins/skin-custom.php:16

Could you please:

• Only load your plugin when your plugin is used in a page
• Or, at least, test if elementor Pro is activated, the active your plugin

The first option should be the best.

Thanks

Update elementor first and then ECS and will solve the issue

Humm... I do not understand your answer or you do not understand my issue... ^^

I asked you if it's possible to load alll your plugins assest (JS/CSS) ONLY if the Elementor Pro Widget is used in a page.

It's a best practice for all developpers to selectively load their assets only if they are used. It's a question of website performance, and performance is an SEO point ;-)

Thanks

This plugin is a skin for posts widgets which is only in elementor pro. Also it uses the dynamic values that only elementor pro has.

[pako69]

Yes I know :-)

And as I said, I unload Elementor Pro on some pages (to get more speed) but when Elementor Pro is disabled your plugin make a Fatal Error because it's looking for include some stuff of Elementor Pro.

So my question stay the same: Is it possible to load all your plugins assest (JS/CSS) ONLY if the Elementor Pro Widget is used in a page OR oly if Elementor Pro is activated in a page.

How do you accomplish this? To unload the E Pro I mean.

[pako69]

as I also said first ^^ : I use a specific plugin (https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/)

[dudaster]

But you don’t want to disable the ECS for its assets. I understood right?

[pako69]

I don't want ECS to try to make a require_once() of Elementor Pro stuff 'ElementorPro\Modules\Posts\Skins\Skin_Base' IF Elementor Pro is not used in a page. That way ECS will no throw a PTP fatal error.

Something like:

if (Elementor_Pro = TRUE) {
load ECS;
} {
//Do nothing
}

PS/ I'm not English to I do my best for you to understand me ;-
