    Elementor is unable to edit WooCommerce store pages, prompting that you must call the the_content function in the current template for Elementor to work on this page.

    Hey @yinsanmu1101

    Thanks for posting this to the WordPress Community.

    It sounds like you’re trying to edit WooCommerce store pages with Elementor, but you’re seeing the message that you must call the the_content() function in your current template. This happens because Elementor requires the template to output the main content area to function properly. WooCommerce pages sometimes use custom templates that don’t include the_content(), so Elementor can’t detect the content.

    Here’s how to fix it:

    1. Check Your Page Template
      • Edit the page in WordPress, and on the right sidebar under Page Attributes, make sure the template is set to Default Template or a template that includes the_content().
    2. Check Theme Templates for WooCommerce
      • If your theme overrides WooCommerce templates, make sure the PHP template for the page includes:
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); the_content(); endwhile; ?>
    • This ensures Elementor can load and edit the page content.
    1. Use Elementor WooCommerce Builder
      • If you want to fully customize WooCommerce pages, Elementor Pro has WooCommerce Builder, which lets you design product archives, single product pages, and cart/checkout pages without editing PHP templates.
    2. Temporarily Switch Theme
      • To confirm the issue, switch to a default theme like Hello Elementor and see if Elementor works on your WooCommerce pages. If it does, the problem is your current theme’s template.

    Waiting to hear back from you. If this was helpful, don’t forget to like it and mark it as a solution.

    Thanks
