Issue

If you are encountering issues with your website, particularly following a recent update, it may be necessary to revert to a prior version of Elementor.

Note
  • Always Back up your site before rolling back to a previous version. If you are using Elementor Host, see Back Up Your Elementor Host Website, other see Backing up your website.
  • We do not provide support to outdated Elementor versions nor recommend using outdated versions.
  • Test your site on a staging site, before it goes live to ensure it will function as intended after an update/rollback.

Solution

There are two ways to rollback to the previous version:

Rollback to a previous version of Elementor from WP-Admin

Follow these steps:

  1. From WP Admin go to Elementor>Editor>Home.
  2. In the panel, click Tools. 
  3. Click the Version Control tab.

    By default, your rollback is set to the previous version of Elementor or Elementor Pro. 
  4. (Optional) If you want to rollback to an even earlier version, in the Rollback Version you can use the dropdown menu, to select an earlier version.
  5. Click Reinstall v.<xx> to rollback to the earlier version.
  6. In the confirmation window, click Continue.
    Your site rolls back to the selected version of Elementor.

Reinstall a version of Elementor as a direct download

Note
Direct download only works with the Elementor Core plugin, not Elementor Pro.

If you cannot download a version of Elementor from WP-Admin, you can directly download Elementor.

Follow these steps:

  1. In your browser, enter the URL https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/elementor(version number).zip 
  2. Press Enter.
    The version of Elementor gets downloaded to your computer. For example, to download version 3.13.4: the link would be https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/elementor.3.13.4.zip 

Alternatively, following is the better approach for direct download:

  1. Go to Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder. 
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
    Rollback to a previous version of Elementor 3
  3. Under Please select a specific version to download, select the version you want to download.
  4. Click Download.
