Quick Start Guide

Welcome to Sera! This guide walks you through installing your first Sera plugin and getting it running in under five minutes.

Step 1: Download Your Plugin

After purchasing from sera.guru, navigate to your Account > Downloads page. You will see all purchased plugins listed with download buttons. Click the download button to get the .zip file.

If you purchased the Business Bundle, all seven plugin ZIP files will be available for individual download.

Step 2: Install via WordPress

Log into your WordPress admin dashboard
Navigate to Plugins > Add New
Click the Upload Plugin button at the top
Click Choose File and select the downloaded .zip file
Click Install Now
Once installation completes, click Activate

Important: If you are installing a spoke plugin (Pulse, Sentinel, Writer, CLS Guard Pro, AI Sitemap), make sure Sera Core is installed and activated first. Sera Core is the hub that all spoke plugins connect to.

Step 3: Activate Your License

Go to Sera > License in your WordPress admin
Enter the license key from your sera.guru account
Click Activate

Your license key can be found on your sera.guru account dashboard under License Keys.

Step 4: Configure Your Plugin

Each Sera plugin has its own settings panel accessible from the Sera menu in your WordPress admin sidebar. After activation, you will see each installed spoke plugin listed in the Sera hub dashboard.

Step 5: Verify Everything Works

Visit Sera > Dashboard to see all connected spoke plugins, their status, and any alerts or recommendations.
