I am trying to copy and paste container form one Elementor site to another

[cheffe101]

I am currently trying to copy the container from a live page to my local page. Unfortunately, I always get this error:
(Elementor tutorial)

Make sure that both pages are updated to the latest version of Elementor and have the functions for the copied element activated before you try again.

Of course I have already checked whether the Elementor settings on both sides are identical. I also contacted Elementor support, but they referred me to local support. They also sent me this link. But I don’t think it will help me because I don’t get any console errors and I’m not using Apache but an nginx server.

• Local Version: Version 9.0.4+6699

• Operating System (OS) and OS version: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631

Hi @cheffe101

Are you trying to import your full site into Local or just Elementor items?

Hi @Nick-B

just a single Elementor container. In this specific scenario it is a menu.
Here is a link which explains it in detail.

I’m not sure if this is valid or not but are both sites using the same versions of WP/PHP/MySQL? Are they both using the same theme?

I just noticed there are some differences:

Site 1 (live site):

• Operating System: Linux*
• Software: Apache*
• MySQL version: MySQL Community Server - GPL v8.0.36*
• PHP Version: 8.3.8*

Site 2 (local site):

• Operating System: WINNT*
• Software: nginx/1.16.0*
• MySQL version: MySQL Community Server - GPL v8.0.16*
• PHP Version: 8.1.23*

What would you recommend, update the PHP/MySQL version from site 2(local site) ?

[cheffe101]

Using the same PHP version actually solved the problem.

Thank you very much!
