File Manager Pro Edition

Choose the documents the manager can reach

File Manager Pro Edition brings file and folder operations into the WordPress backend. Set the root directory to include paths inside or outside the WordPress installation. Use the toolbar or context menu to upload, download, copy, move, make, rename, edit, delete, or organize 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 available for processes that use those connections.

Set access for folders and users

Assign private folders to different user roles or individual users. Shortcodes with custom attributes make file manager functions available on frontend pages. Administrators can control which operations selected roles or users can perform, and hide or lock files and folders for them. File type settings limit uploads and downloads, while upload size can also be controlled.

Edit, archive, and preview files

The code editor offers multiple themes and a fullscreen view setting, with a syntax checker to review code before saving. Create or extract ZIP, RAR, TAR, and GZIP archives. Preview supported file types, including video, audio, MP3, and PDF files; pictures can show thumbnails. Get Info shows file details, directory size calculations are available, and deleted items can be moved to the built-in trash before removal. Files can also be shared by email.

Use WordPress media and backup utilities

Images, PDFs, and ZIP files can be uploaded to selected folders and made available in the native WordPress Media Library. Backup and restore covers theme files, extension files, the uploads folder, and database data on the server. Administrators can receive email notifications when files are uploaded, downloaded, or edited.

Set up the file process

Install and activate the extension, then open the file manager from the WordPress backend. Choose the root directory and configure file types, upload limits, users, roles, private folders, and hidden items for the intended workflow. You can then manage files, create frontend shortcodes, edit code, preview supported content, or run backup and restore tasks. The interface is designed for desktop, tablet, and mobile use.
