Installing & Setting Up

Install Elementor

1. Install the plugin

Plugins → Add New Plugin\nSearch "Elementor" → Install → Activate

2. Complete the wizard

Elementor asks about your site type and goals. The defaults are fine for learning.

3. First page

Pages → Add New\nClick "Edit with Elementor"\n# the editor opens with a blank canvas

4. Settings worth knowing

Elementor → Settings\n- General: default colour and font (can set later)\n- Advanced: keep default editor loader\n- Performance (Pro): leave off for now

Tip: Elementor works alongside any decent theme. Block themes and classic themes both work.
