    Your website at pmubykimberly.wordpress.com is on WordPress.com, and Elementor only works on a self-hosted WordPress.org installation of WordPress where you have to find a hosting company and purchase a hosting plan. Some hosting companies for self-hosted WordPress sites install WordPress for you and on some hosting companies, you would have to install WordPress yourself after signing up for a hosting package. This is a very common issue of confusion and misunderstanding, so you’re not alone in this regard. Please check out WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org if you want to learn more about the two versions of WordPress. 

    If you absolutely need/want to use Elementor, then you can search “best WordPress hosting 2023” or “best WordPress hosting for elementor” on any search engine and those search results can help you choose a hosting company to self-host your WordPress website with Elementor added on. I’d also recommend doing the same searches on youtube so that you can understand this better and make the best choice for your situation. And last, but not least… take note of which hosting companies keep showing up in all of the different reviews and videos and stick with one of those rather than some deceptively cheap hosting company that didn’t show up in any of the reviews. I hope this helps more than it confuses you. Good luck with your new website!

    Hey there,

    @baermarketing thanks for your help here, but I just wanted to clarify something you mentioned…

    Your website at pmubykimberly.wordpress.com is on WordPress.com, and Elementor only works on a self-hosted WordPress.org installation of WordPress where you have to find a hosting company and purchase a hosting plan

    This isn’t true. You can actually run Elementor on WordPress.com using the WordPress.com Business plan as this gives you the ability to install themes and plugins.

    I have no option to edit my website with elementor?

    @pmubykimberly Howdy! It sounds like you’ve got something in mind for your site. Out of curiosity, are you also following a YouTube tutorial? The reason why I ask is because it’s quite common for tutorials to incorporate the use of Elementor, so I’d be eager to find out more about the project.

    Speak soon and looking forward to hearing from you!
