# Manual Updates

Manual plugin updates

Manually updating the plugin is really easy, just follow the steps below.

## Direct Purchases

## Step 1. - Log in to wp-dreams.com

{% hint style="info" %}
After purchase, you got an email with log-in details, where you can view all your purchases. If you don't find the email or deleted it - don't worry, all you need is the email address you used with the purchase.
{% endhint %}

Use [this link to log-in](https://wp-dreams.com/login/) to wp-dreams.com. Use the email address with your purchase - the password was mailed to you during purchase. If you forgot or lost it, use the *Forgot your password?* link to reset it.
