File Manager Pro Edition

Set the file manager's working directory

File Manager Pro Edition brings file and folder tasks into the WordPress backend. Set the root directory to work with paths inside or outside the WordPress installation. Use the toolbar or context menu to upload, download, copy, move, make, rename, edit, or delete items. Drag and drop works with uploads, copying, and moving; multiple selection, search, browsing history, keyboard shortcuts, and list or icon views help with navigation. FTP/SFTP support is also available.

Assign folders and set user access

Assign private folders to various user roles or individual users. Shortcodes with custom attributes make file manager functions available on the frontend. Administrators can control which operations selected roles or users can perform, and hide or lock files and folders for them. File type settings control uploads and downloads, and administrators can set upload size limits.

Edit, archive, and preview files

Create and extract ZIP, RAR, TAR, and GZIP archives. The built-in code editor has multiple themes and a fullscreen view setting; a syntax checker can review code before it is saved. Common file types can be previewed, including video and audio. PDF previews and picture thumbnails are supported, and Get Info shows file details. The utilities also include directory size calculations, email sharing, and a trash area for holding deleted files before removal.

Connect media and backup tools

Images, PDFs, and ZIP files uploaded to selected folders can be made available through the native WordPress Media Library. Backup and restore covers theme files, add-on files, the uploads folder, and database data on the server.

Use the file manager on different screens

The interface is designed for desktop, tablet, and mobile use. Themes, list and icon views, previews, thumbnails, keyboard shortcuts, and drag-and-drop uploading support everyday file tasks.

Start managing files

Install and activate File Manager Pro Edition, then open the WP File Manager menu in WordPress. Set the root directory and configure file types, upload limits, roles, users, private folders, and hidden items for the intended workflow. From there, manage files, create shortcodes, edit code, preview content, or use the backup and restore tools.
