 Strange problem began about mid-June.

 When Elementor plugin is activated, all Media Attachment pages for
 *unattached* media return a 404 error; Media Attachment pages for attached
 media are unaffected.

 This problem occurs when Permalinks are set to 'Post name', but the
 problem goes away when Permalinks are set to 'Plain'. Other Permalink
 settings have not yet been tested.

 This problem affects sites with Media uploading settings set to use
 'month- and year-based folders' as well as sites that do not use month-
 and year-based folders.

 Deactivating Elementor fixes the problem; all Media Attachment pages work
 (200).

 This issue has affected and been replicated on 4 different sites that use
 Elementor.

 Testing has only been done on SiteGround servers with all other plugins
 deactivated and the Twenty Twenty-one theme activated.

 Elementor support claims they cannot reproduce this issue on their own
 test environment.
