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 Complete Bundle, all plugin ZIP files will be available for individual download.

Step 2: Install via WordPress

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

Important: If you are installing a spoke plugin (Sera AI Website Health, Sera AI Website Security, Sera AI Writer, Sera AI CLS Guard, Sera 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

  1. Go to Sera > License in your WordPress admin
  2. Enter the license key from your sera.guru account
  3. 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.

What to Install First

We recommend this installation order:

  1. Sera Core (required hub, install first)

  3. Sera AI Website Security (security hardening)
  4. Sera AI Website Health (site health monitoring)
  5. Sera AI Writer (content creation)
  6. Sera AI Sitemap (SEO and indexing)

Free vs. Paid
