Follow these steps:

  1. In your browser, enter the URL https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/elementor(version number).zip 
  2. Press Enter.
    The version of Elementor gets downloaded to your computer. For example, to download version 3.13.4: the link would be https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/elementor.3.13.4.zip 

Alternatively, following is the better approach for direct download:

  1. Go to Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
    Rollback to a previous version of Elementor 3
  3. Under Please select a specific version to download, select the version you want to download.
  4. Click Download.
