PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "ElementorCoreSchemesTypography" not found…means that the **`ElementorCoreSchemesTypography`** class is being used but is not available. This typically happens when:
### 🧩 What's Going Wrong?
1. **Incompatible or outdated version of Elementor**:
The theme (The7) is trying to use a class from Elementor that may have been removed or renamed in a newer version.
2. **Custom widget or code (like in `nav-menu.php`)** is relying on something that Elementor no longer provides in the same way.
3. **File corruption or incomplete Elementor installation** can also cause this.

### ✅ Solution Steps
#### 🔹 1. **Update Everything**
– **Elementor**: Make sure you're using the **latest version** of Elementor.
– **The7 Theme**: Ensure that the **theme is up to date**, as the compatibility code is coming from `dt-the7/inc/…`.
> Both the plugin and the theme must support each other’s versions.
#### 🔹 2. **Restore Missing Class or Use Alternative**
If Elementor recently removed or renamed the class, and the theme hasn’t caught up:
– The `Typography` scheme class used to exist in:
use ElementorCoreSchemesTypography;– But in newer versions of Elementor, it might be:
use ElementorScheme_Typography;So you can try modifying this line in `nav-menu.php` (line ~515) to:
use ElementorScheme_Typography;#### 🔹 3. **Temporary Workaround (if urgent)**
Comment out or replace the part of the code using the missing class:
In `/themes/dt-the7/inc/mods/compatibility/elementor/widgets/nav-menu.php` around line 515:
// 'typography' => Typography::get_type(),Change to:
// 'typography' => ElementorScheme_Typography::get_type(), // or just comment temporarily⚠️ This may remove typography control temporarily but should avoid the fatal error.

### 🛡️ Final Tip
If you’re using a **child theme**, override the widget or fix it there so updates don’t override your fix.

If you want, you can share the block of code around line 515 and I can help you rewrite it to support newer Elementor versions properly.
