In this article, I will show you how to do this.
But, what if you run into some issues in the process?
Well, it's easy and I'll show it to you too.

Is there a fix for this? Yes, there certainly are.
So here is what you need to do. Downgrade your version of Elementor.
How? Just go to the Elementor plugins list and in the advanced view you will find the Previous Version section at the bottom.
I suggest you select and download the latest stable version of Elementor.
Now there are two ways to downgrade your plugin version.
First of all, you need to go to plugins. Disable and then delete Elementor. You can then download and activate the old version that you downloaded.
Second, you can install a plugin called Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades. It's actually one of my favorite plugins. What it does is that even if you have a plugin installed, it allows you to install a plugin on it. I find it very convenient and use it on all of my websites.
So, with this plugin installed, you can download the old version of Elementor and overwrite the current version you have. Activate the plugin.
You will see that the Elementor is downgraded to the previous version.
