@Wilson Grant Fisk @Festinger
A big thanks to both of you!

I had 2 of my sites running the older version of Elementor and wasn't aware of this problem before your post.
I would have been devastated if anything would have happened to them. Downloaded the updated version from the link Festinger supplied. Thanks
