How to Install Elementor Pro Plugin: 4 Simple Steps
Congratulations on purchasing the Elementor Pro plugin. Here are four easy steps to getting it installed and activated on your site.
Click here to purchase, if you haven’t already. Here’s what your purchase screen will look like.
Now that you’ve purchased, it’s time to download and install the Elementor Pro plugin on your site.
How to Install Elementor Pro Plugin
The process to download and install the Elementor Pro plugin is very simple. It will take about 2-3 minutes. I’ve included screenshots to detail each step.
Step 1: Download Elementor Pro Plugin
You can download the plugin from your purchase page or your Elementor account.
Step 2: Install Elementor Pro Plugin
Now it’s time to install your plugin.
- Inside your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
- Select Upload and navigate to the plugin inside of your Downloads folder.
- Install, then activate the plugin in WordPress.
Select your zip file and upload (install) at this screen.
Once installed, the next step is to activate it. You’ll simply click Activate Plugin on this screen.
Note: If you don’t already have the free Elementor plugin installed, you’ll also have to install it. The process is similar to the Pro version. But you don’t have to upload it separately. You’ll likely see a notification inside of WordPress. Just click “Install Now” and it will install. If you don’t see it, you can find it in the WordPress plugin repository.
Once installed, you’ll click Activate Plugin to make it live.
Step 3: Activate Your License
Now this can be a little confusing. At this point, you’ve activated two plugins: the Pro and free Elementor plugins.
Now there is a third activation step.
Inside your WordPress dashboard, go to Elementor > License. Or you might also see a notification message in WordPress.
Click: Connect & Activate button.
This will take you to your logged-in page on https://my.elementor.com/. Confirm that the domain on the left and your account info on the right match what you want and then click Activate my license.
Once activated, your Elementor > License screen will look like this.
Step 4: Create
Now comes the fun part. With your Elementor Pro plugin installed and activated, you can now start using the Pro features and widgets on your Elementor site.
