The error message you're seeing from your **Elementor Pro form**:

{
  "success": false,
  "data": {
    "message": "Your submission failed because of a server error.<br>Your submission failed because of an error.",
    "errors": [],
    "data": []
  }
}

means that the form submission process failed on the **server-side**, but no specific error was returned. Here's how you can debug and fix it:

### ✅ **1. Check Console and Network Tab**
Open **DevTools (F12)** in your browser:
– Go to the **Network tab** → Look for the `admin-ajax.php` request that fires on form submission.
– Click it → Check the **Response** and **Preview** to get more detailed error messages (if any).
– Go to the **Console tab** → Look for any JavaScript errors.

### ✅ **2. Plugin or Theme Conflict**
Temporarily **disable other plugins** (except Elementor and Elementor Pro) and **switch to a default theme** (like Twenty Twenty-Four) to check for conflicts.

### ✅ **3. PHP Error Logs**
Check your server's PHP error logs (`error_log` or through hosting panel) for recent errors. Elementor form might be hitting a fatal error or uncaught exception.

### ✅ **4. Check Form Actions**
Go to **Elementor Form > Actions After Submit**:
– Make sure all actions (Email, Webhook, Redirect, etc.) are configured correctly.
– Try removing them one by one to isolate the issue.

### ✅ **5. Enable WordPress Debugging**
Edit your `wp-config.php` and add or set:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

Then re-submit the form. Check the generated log file at `/wp-content/debug.log`.

### ✅ **6. Server Configuration Issues**
Ensure:
– PHP version is supported by Elementor (PHP 7.4+ or 8.0+)
– `admin-ajax.php` is accessible and not blocked by security plugins, .htaccess, or firewall
– No mod_security or Cloudflare rule is blocking the form submission

### ✅ **7. Clear Cache**
Clear all:
– Elementor cache (Elementor > Tools)
– Browser cache
– Any caching plugin (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, etc.)
– Cloudflare (if used)

### ✅ **8. Rebuild the Form**
If nothing works, try recreating the form from scratch with minimal fields and gradually rebuild.
