    Hi there.

    I have a domain already bought through GoDaddy and I am trying to figure out a way to connect it to WP

    To use that domain in a WordPress.com site, you can either Transfer or Map the domain. To understand the diference between them see this article.

    I am trying to figure out a way to connect it to WP as well as connect my newest WP website to Elementor Pro

    If you have a Business or eCommerce plan, you can instal a third-party plugin, such as Elementor. If you have those plans, you can see the article Instaling Plugins.
    Keep in mind that WordPress doesn’t allow installing third-party themes or plugins for security reasons. Business sites undergo a series of structural changes to allow that and that is why you’d need Business plan to install a plugin.
    Another way to do it is to use the Elementor with the open source software WordPress, here is how to get started:

    The Elementor plugin is right here:

    Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder


    If you choose to go that path, you can find help in the WordPress.org forums.

    Hi there! You can map a domain with any paid plan:

    Once you add the plan, you’ll be prompted to choose your domain, too, so type that in, choose Map It, and then update the settings to point to your new site here. (Or you can also connect the domain later if you’d like – no big deal!)

    If you’ll need to install outside plugins like Elementor, I’d recommend the Business Plan:
    https://wordpress.com/pricing

    The annual Business plan includes SSL hosting, 24/7 chat support, maintenance, security, and many other features that tend to cost extra with other providers. Or, you are welcome to use your own free copy of WordPress with another host, and use community resources or hired contractors as needed. Here’s the difference:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
