    Hi. I’m a beginner with WordPress and making my first website. When I go to my site homepage, it doesn’t show “Edit With Elementor” button. I have tried disabling all the plugins other than Elementor and switching to default WordPress theme but it still doesn’t work. Any help is highly appericiated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,

    What is the address of the site you are referring to? I do not see a site connected to your WordPress.com account.

    Please contact support for the Elementor plugin directly for help with this, as it appears you’re using them for your site’s design.

    We cannot assist because your site i most likely a a self-hosted WordPress.org site. Please provide the site URL and I’d be happy to confirm if this is the case.

    To clarify:

    • WordPress.com is a managed host platform that offers WordPress in a pre-customized server environment already set up for you to build your site. Hosting with WordPress.com is free, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by us. We offer free and paid plans that provide additional features for your site based on your needs (plugins, custom themes, etc). You also have access to professional assistance via Happiness Engineers to address any issues you encounter.
    • WordPress.org is a self-hosted platform, meaning you download the WordPress software and install it on a web server from a host of your choosing (Go Daddy, Bluehost, Hostgator, etc.). You have to pay the host when you’re self-hosting, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by you. This gives you more flexibility and control of your plugins, themes, and code, but also more responsibility to ensure those things are operating correctly.

    Our support page dives more into the differences:

    We welcome you to consider moving your site to WordPress.com, as we’d love to further help you. However, since you’re on a self-hosted platform, we do not have direct access to your account and therefore can’t directly address your issue.

    I recommend contacting your site host or Elementor, as they would be better positioned to assist you since they have access to your account. Also, the open-source forum community is always available and prepared to help users with self-hosted sites:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
