Install and connect Elementor One

What you need to get started

Before you start using Elementor One, make sure you have:

• A WordPress site with access to WP Admin
• An Elementor account (or be ready to create one during purchase)
• An Elementor One subscription (purchase Elementor One or upgrade from Elementor Pro)
• The latest version of Elementor or any Elementor app installed and updated on your site

Purchasing an Elementor One Subscription

You can get an Elementor One subscription in one of these ways:

1. Purchase Elementor One from elementor.com
2. Upgrade an existing Elementor Pro subscription to Elementor One.

Note: Upgrading to Elementor One does not automatically upgrade any other existing Elementor app subscriptions you may have. You can keep individual app subscriptions active and still use Elementor One. Only a single subscription can be connected to a plugin simultaneously.

Option 1: Purchase Elementor One from elementor.com

1. Go to elementor.com.
2. From the top menu, click Products.
3. Select Elementor One.
4. Choose a plan.
   • Elementor One plans include Elementor Pro and other supported Elementor plugins/apps.
   • The plan also includes Elementor Credits, which can be used by any supported plugin/app.
5. Complete the purchase flow
6. Download the Elementor Pro plugin.
   
7. You can now install Elementor Pro. For details, see Install and activate Elementor Pro.
8. You now need to connect your Elementor One subscription from WP Admin. For details, see Connect and activate your Elementor One subscription.

Note: During purchase you may be asked to create an Elementor account (if you don’t already have one). The email you use is important for account access and recovery, so make sure it’s an address you can access. You can change it later (see: Change the email address of your Elementor account).

If Elementor Pro or any Elementor app are already installed on your site

If you already have Elementor Pro installed or any Elementor app, you’ll need to update it to the latest version to use it with your Elementor One subscription.

Starting with January 2026 releases, Elementor plugins introduce a unified WordPress menu experience. If you haven’t updated a plugin, it may remain in its original WP side menu location.

Option 2: Upgrade to Elementor One from an existing Elementor Pro subscription

If you already own Elementor Pro, you can upgrade that subscription to Elementor One.

You can start the upgrade from: 

WP Admin

1. On WP Admin, navigate to the Elementor menu.
2. Click Upgrade.
   

My Elementor dashboard

1. Select Upgrade from any Elementor Pro subscription page on your My Elementor dashboard.
2. Choose a plan from the upgrade page.
3. Complete the upgrade flow.
4. Follow the instructions to activate Elementor One on your site. For details, see Connect and activate your Elementor One subscription.
   

Connect and activate your Elementor One subscription

After you purchase Elementor One (or complete an upgrade from Elementor Pro), you’ll need to connect and activate the Elementor One subscription.

1. In WP Admin, navigate to Elementor>Home.
   
2. Click Let’s start.
3. Click Activate it here.
4. Sign in and confirm the email associated with your Elementor One subscription.
   • If the email shown isn’t the right one, click Switch accounts and sign in with the correct email.
   • Confirm the site/domain you’re connecting to.
     Warning: The email address associated with the account is used for several purposes including account recovery. Make sure you use an email address you have access to. You can change the email address at any time.
5. If prompted, select the Elementor One subscription from the dropdown list. 
6. Complete activation.
   • If Elementor Pro (or any Elementor app) is installed, make sure it’s updated to the latest version.
7. After the activation process completes, you can select which apps to install and activate. Selected apps will be installed, updated, activated and connected to Elementor One (essentially they will be ready for use).

Note: Activating Elementor One also activates any Elementor app that is not already connected to an individual subscription. 

7. When the process finishes, you can use any supported Elementor plugin with the credits granted by Elementor One.

Note: You can use any Connect & Activate call to action to activate Elementor One.

Moving existing apps to Elementor One

If you already have Elementor apps installed on your site that are connected to individual subscriptions, you can move them to Elementor One through the Tool Manager on Elementor Home.

Important: A plugin can be connected to only one subscription at a time. Switching an app to Elementor One disconnects it from its individual subscription on this site, but it doesn’t cancel that subscription.

Move an app to Elementor One (via Tool Manager)

1. In WP Admin, go to Elementor Home.
2. Open Tool Manager.
3. Find the app you want to migrate.
   • These apps connected will show a Migrate to One button.
4. Confirm the switch.
   • The plugin will be reactivated with your Elementor One subscription.
   • If the plugin needs an update, you’ll be prompted to update before the switch completes.

After the switch, the app will use the credits included in your Elementor One plan (when applicable).

Switch back to an individual subscription

If you want to reactivate an app to a specific subscription later:

1. Open the app in Tool Manager.
2. Toggle the capability/app off and in the modal that opens, select Detach. This will disconnect Elementor One from the app.
3. Go to the app and start the activation process. Select the subscription you’d like to activate and complete the process.
