# How to Use WP Manager?

### What is WP Manager?

WP Manager is a centralized interface that connects to your WordPress websites or blogs via a plugin and allows you to easily update everything in a single click, without having to log into WordPress. This tool can help you save hours of tedious work every month, as well as improve your security, as outdated cores, themes and plugins can pose a security threat.

### How to use WP Manager?

1. From within your WordPress dashboard, select Plugins, then **Add New.**

6. Once you have installed the SERPed plugin, you will need to add the site to Site Manager. You can read more about how to do this [here](https://help.serped.net/en/article/how-to-add-a-site-to-site-manager-8qvh6f/). The site will then be added to WP Manager and on the history page, you will be able to see the status of the SERPed plugin as well as the number of outdated plugins and themes for the site.
