Uncaught TypeError: e.dispatchEvent is not a function Elementor WordPress frontend.min.js

I am getting this error when trying to open Elementor with my custom theme meaning that Elementor page builder won’t open. Has anyone come across this before?

    This is a jquery issue. I had the same error, it was because jquery was loaded twice, two versions. The one that was puzzling me was getting loaded by GTM, so I couldn’t find it in the code.

    Michael is right I had the same issue. But the jQuery was hidden in a .js file within the theme.

    So just double check jQuery isn’t being loaded twice within your themes .js files.

    When I found the second copy and removed it, I was receiving an error regarding the "$ is not a function".

    jQuery(function($) {

/* Rest of code in file goes here

});

    If you are getting the element from a jquery function, you need to extract the raw DOM element first

    var e = $("#item1");
var d = e[0];
d.dispatchEvent(new Event('change',{ 'bubbles': true }));
