    The solution is indeed to upgrade your free site to the Business plan to install external plugins. Anyway with the latest Block building at WordPress.com you can do quite a lot with a free plan. Elementor may not be necessary.

    Hi there,

    @themagicrobot is right. To install Elementor and other plugins on a WordPress.com site, a Business plan is needed.

    Let me explain a bit more about this. The WordPress software you’re talking about can be downloaded for free from https://wordpress.org/ and set up with your preferred hosting provider. This will allow you to start constructing your site. Meanwhile, we at WordPress.com are a hosting provider ourselves, and we’ve already taken care of preinstalling and configuring the WordPress software on our platform. By choosing our service, you can concentrate on building your website while we handle all the technical aspects like updates, maintenance, and security for you.

    So, you can either pay for hosting elsewhere and install and configure WordPress, or you can simply upgrade to our Business plan, install the Elementor plugin, and start creating your site. If you’re interested, you can quickly upgrade below.

    Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll be happy to help.
