How to Fix “Class ‘ElementorCoreSchemesTypography’ Not Found” Error in Docy with Elementor 3.29.0

If you have recently updated Elementor to version 3.29.0 and are using the Docy WordPress theme, you might encounter a critical error on your homepage that mentions: Uncaught Error: Class "ElementorCoreSchemesTypography" not found. This guide explains the cause of the issue and provides step-by-step instructions to resolve it.

Problem Description

After updating to Elementor 3.29.0, some users of the Docy theme (specifically version 3.1.0 or older) have reported their homepage stops loading and instead displays a critical error. The error originates from the Docy Core plugin—typically in the Hero.php widget—and relates to a missing or deprecated Elementor class:

Uncaught Error: Class "ElementorCoreSchemesTypography" not found in /wp-content/plugins/docy-core/widgets/Hero.php

While other site pages may work correctly, the homepage and any section using affected Docy Core widgets fail to load.

What Causes This Error?

This error occurs because the Docy theme or Docy Core plugin version you are using is incompatible with the latest Elementor update. Elementor’s internal class structure changes over time, and certain classes (like ElementorCoreSchemesTypography) may be moved or deprecated. If your theme or plugin relies on an old class, it will trigger a fatal error when that class is no longer available.

How to Fix the Error

• Update Docy Theme and Docy Core Plugin:
  1. Log into your WordPress admin.
  2. Go to Appearance > Themes and check for updates to the Docy theme. Download the latest version (currently 4.1.0) from ThemeForest if it’s not available in your dashboard.
  3. Update the Docy Core plugin. You may find the update packaged with the latest theme download or available as a separate update.
  4. After updating both, clear your site cache and reload the homepage.
• Compatibility: The latest Docy theme and core plugin releases are fully compatible with Elementor 3.29.0 and resolve the missing Typography class error.

“The error you’re encountering is due to the use of an outdated version of the Docy Theme and the Docy Core plugin. The latest available version is 4.1.0, which includes full compatibility with Elementor 3.29.0 and addresses this exact issue.”
