WPIDE – File Manager & Code Editor Plugin

WPIDE is an Advanced File Manager and Code Editor plugin for WordPress that you can use completely for free.

The Code Editor lets you edit any file within your wp-content folder, not just plugins and themes.

The included code completion will help you remember your WordPress/PHP commands providing function reference along the way. Edit multiple files with the tabbed editor.

The File Manager lets you copy, move, duplicate, create archives, download, upload, edit, delete, preview files & directories without FTP or cPanel access.

WPIDE uses a very modern, clean and easy to use interface to make managing and editing your files a breeze! It comes with 6 different themes and a dark mode to reduce blue light exposure.
