WPIDE - File Manager & Code Editor Premium

Editing theme or plugin files usually means switching between an FTP client, a text editor and the WordPress admin. That is slow, and one bad save can take a site offline. This plugin brings those tasks into one screen in the dashboard. You can browse the wp-content folder, upload, move, delete, zip and unzip files, then open a file and edit it right there.

The editor offers syntax highlighting and auto-completion, and it checks PHP before you save. Backups are made before changes, and a recovery wizard restores the previous version if a save goes wrong. Pro mode extends access to more directories beyond wp-content. Access controls limit the tools to authorized users, which suits agencies and developers maintaining client sites.

Features

• In-dashboard file manager: Browse, upload, move, delete, zip and unzip files in the wp-content folder from the WordPress admin area, without opening a separate FTP client.
• Code editor with auto-completion: Write and edit code with syntax highlighting and auto-completion for multiple programming languages, directly inside the dashboard.
• PHP validation before saving: PHP code is validated before it is saved, which helps you catch syntax errors that could otherwise break your site.
• Backup and restore wizard: Files are backed up before changes are saved. If a save causes problems, the recovery wizard restores the previous version to avoid downtime.
• Pro mode directory access: Pro mode lets you reach and manage additional directories beyond wp-content, giving wider control over the WordPress installation.
• Drag-and-drop uploads: Drop files straight into the file manager to upload them, which saves time when you handle media or code assets.
• Multi-tab editing: Open several files in tabs at once, so you can work on them side by side and keep your place while switching.
• Restricted access control: Only authorized users can reach the file manager and editor, which protects site files from unwanted changes.

Best for

• Developers who edit theme and plugin files often
• Agencies maintaining WordPress sites for clients
• Site administrators who want to skip FTP clients
