Pronto Marketing: Elementor FAQ Accordion + Element Caching breaks FAQPage JSON-LD ("Missing field text")

Claim: Pronto Marketing documented an Elementor Accordion FAQ schema bug. Element Caching (enabled by default in 3.26) breaks the FAQPage JSON-LD; Google reports "Missing field 'text'."

Confidence: Verified.

Direct downstream consequence of Elementor 3.26 (late 2024): removed legacy Schemes API + enabled Element Caching by default — risky for shortcode-dependent themes. Element Caching was supposed to improve performance; it broke FAQ schema for sites depending on Elementor's Accordion widget. Two costs: (1) lost AI Overview citations (FAQPage schema feeds AI extraction), (2) Google Search Console errors that flag the property as broken.
