Can't add new page in Aspire using Elementor Pro

How do I add a new page? Or even duplicate a page?
I'm using Elementor Pro. When I add a new page, it doesn't automatically add the "edit with Elementor". When I click on that, it starts to load and then I get the error message "The preview could not be loaded." Part of the steps to solve it include changing themes, etc.
I'm using Aspire and Elementor Pro works great on all the pages that came with the theme, but I need to add more pages.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I think that's a pretty common error in Elementor. Can you try clearing your browser cache?
Let me know :)
Tom, THANK YOU!!!! That worked.
But, I now also have another question. How do I add a new blog post. I created a couple of posts using the "Add New" under Posts. But, they don't show up on the Blog page. What am I doing wrong here?
Hi there,
the Aspire site uses WP Show Posts plugin to display the posts on that page. Here's some info on that plugin (it's one of Tom's):
In the Dashboard you will see its menu item, within is a list edit that and remove the category filter from it. Your new posts should now display.
YES!!!! Thanks, David. That works!
I must say that the Support here in Generate Press is amazing.
Quick question ... is it possible to duplicate a page, rather than always creating a new one?
Glad to be of help.
I use this plugin:

In the settings you can check what post types you want to duplicate, this includes all templates like GP Elements :)
Thanks, David.
Right now I'm still struggling with the blog posts. Using the WP Show Post lists ... my blog shows up with the posts, but the images for the posts don't show up on the page. Is there some setting I'm missing. I'm following the video example, but somehow I must be missing something.
Are you able to provide us temporary access to the site so i can have a look?
If you need to send login details you can do so via the Account Issue form here:

Thanks, David. I've sent in the info.
Ok, so within the WP Editor there is a Featured Image meta box, at the bottom of the right hand sidebar. Add the image there and it will appear in the blog and on your single post. Then you don't need to add the image directly in Elementor
Thanks. That did it, but where do I select the size for this? Right now, it cropped the photo on the "Blog" page ... it's good on the actual post.
And ... suddenly ... my "news" page ( even the "Post List" page) doesn't show any of the posts??? All I did was change the height of the image in the WP Show Posts > Images > Image height.
OK ...not sure if Support is working on my site ... but WOW. I now have a "clone" feature added to my pages. Awesome!!!!
Now, just waiting to see if that "News" page (the blog) will show all the posts.
:)
:) I added the Duplicate Post tool. As there seems to be an issue with the News page being uneditable. And i was hoping to make you a new working copy. I was wondering whether it would be easier for you if we removed the WP Show Posts and used the GP Blog instead - this will be automatic and not require the extra steps we are going through - the design will be slightly different. Let me know.
As a future note when using the Duplicate tool, don't use Clone, instead use New Draft, then edit the title and the URL of the new draft. Clone can create some issues.
First of all, WOW! I'm totally impressed with the GeneratePress support.
Yes, do remove the WP Show Posts. I'm fine with whatever is easier. Even if the design is slightly different, I'm sure I can make it fit.
Thanks, again, for that Duplicate tool. I'll use that New Draft. Sounds super easy, too.
Again, thanks!!!
