How to Fix Server Error 400 Bad Request in Elementor WordPress Site
-
Fix Errors in URLs
Having an error in the URL can trigger server error 400 bad requests in Elementor. We are not talking about a typo in the URL here. Rather, the error in the URL means not following the rules when typing a URL. -
Browser Cache Issue
Browser cache is the data that your browser stores in the form of copies of the web pages you visited. That way, it can load the content faster when you visit that site the next time. While the concept of browser cache seems like a positive thing to up user experience, sometimes it can cause many server errors including 400 bad request errors.
So, if your URL is alright then you can try flushing your browser cache to fix this issue. Clearing cache and cookies in the browser are super easy. You can also press CTRL/CMD – Shift – R to push your request through. -
DNS Cache issue
DNS cache is not the same as browser cache. While both caches are the process of saving relevant data to make previously visited sites load faster, there is a difference. The browser cache is saved by the browser and the DNS cache is saved by your system.
So, if clearing your browser cache doesn’t help to resolve the HTTP 400 server in WordPress, then you can try flushing the DNS cache. -
Conflict with Browser Extension & Addons
The third-party add-ons or extensions you are using on your browser can also create conflict with your server request resulting in 400 bad requests.
You can solve this issue by disabling each extension one by one to see if the server error 400 bad request in Elementor is resolved. -
The File is Too Large For the Server
To ensure this is a size issue, try to upload a smaller file. If the smaller file gets uploaded successfully without any server bad request error, then you can be assured the file you are trying to upload is too large for your server.
However, you can fix it by increasing the WordPress memory limit. For this, you need to navigate to the wp-config.php file and then update the “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’)” line. You need to replace “64M” with either 128M or 256M.
