Whether you're switching to another website builder or simply don't need Elementor's premium features anymore, canceling your Elementor subscription or deleting your account is straightforward. This guide walks you through the key steps to manage, cancel, or remove Elementor-related services from your workflow, with extra insights for a smoother transition.
Canceling Your Elementor or Elementor Pro Subscription
To stop Elementor subscription renewal, especially for Elementor Pro, you'll need to access your account settings from their website. This ensures you avoid being charged at the next billing cycle. Elementor makes it easy to manage your subscriptions through its dashboard, but it's important to understand that cancellations only apply to future charges—not refunds for the current billing cycle.
- Go to my.elementor.com and log in with your registered email.
- Click on Subscriptions in the left-hand menu.
- Select the Elementor Pro plan or other active plan you wish to cancel.
- Click the Cancel Subscription button next to the plan details.
- Confirm your choice to end the Elementor Pro plan and stop further payments.
After canceling, your premium features will remain active until the end of the current billing period. Be sure to take advantage of them while they last.
How to Remove Elementor from WordPress
If you're no longer using Elementor, removing it from your WordPress website is a good idea to keep your installation lightweight and avoid plugin conflicts. Elementor can be deactivated and deleted just like any other WordPress plugin, but double-check for associated templates or widgets that might break your layout post-removal.
Uninstall Elementor from WordPress
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in your WordPress dashboard.
- Locate Elementor in the list of installed plugins.
- Click Deactivate to disable it temporarily.
- After deactivation, click Delete to completely uninstall the plugin.
If you've used Elementor extensively, consider replacing your widgets with alternatives before removing the plugin to avoid broken pages.
How to Delete Elementor Account Permanently
If you no longer want to use any Elementor services, you can delete your account entirely. This will remove your data and access to Elementor billing, support, and features. It's a more permanent solution for those who are fully transitioning to another website builder or platform.
- Log into your account at my.elementor.com.
- Navigate to the Account Settings section via the user menu.
- Click on the Privacy tab on the left panel.
- Locate the option labeled Delete My Account.
- Confirm your decision after reading the warning prompt about data loss.
After deletion, you will lose access to any saved templates, site kits, and support history linked to your email. Consider downloading backups or exporting your templates first.
