FAQ

File manager questions

Where is the file manager in WordPress?
WordPress does not include a full file manager. Core only has theme and plugin file editors, and full file access usually means FTP or your host’s control panel. CMDPress adds a WordPress file manager for connected sites, so you can pick a site and browse its files from the dashboard.
How do I edit WordPress files without FTP?
Use a file manager that reaches the site remotely. In CMDPress, pick a connected site, browse its files, and upload a replacement or edit a supported file in place from the browser, with no hosting panel or FTP client in between. Take a backup before changing important files such as wp-config.php.
How do I disable a WordPress plugin from the file manager?
Rename the plugin’s folder in wp-content/plugins, for example by adding -off to the name, and WordPress deactivates it. Rename it back and reactivate it from the Plugins screen when you are ready. For routine changes, CMDPress plugin tools activate and deactivate plugins without touching files at all.
Is a WordPress file manager plugin safe?
Only if it is kept updated and locked down. A file manager plugin gives full file access from inside wp-admin, so a flaw in it is serious. With CMDPress, file access runs from the dashboard through the site’s lightweight agent plugin, which uses HMAC-signed requests and has no front-end interface.
