For example, it can make it easy to edit themes, plugins, and configurations without having to leave the dashboard. In particular, you can use this type of tool to modify files and access your site&#8217;s core files without having to rely on your hosting provider&#8217;s portal. What&#8217;s more, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-user-roles\/\">determine the level of access you give to different users<\/a> and only allow certain ones to manage files through the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a way, you can think of a file manager in WordPress as a web-based <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-ftp-wordpress\/\">FTP<\/a> client. This can be particularly helpful if, for example, you need to get into a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/multi-author-wordpress-blog\/\">multi-author WordPress website<\/a>, but you don&#8217;t have the login credentials to access the site&#8217;s web hosting account. It also makes the process of sharing access with other team members (such as developers or content creators) much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"installation-setup\">How to use a file manager in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\"  id=\"wp-pic-wp-file-manager\"data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"wp-file-manager\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"\"  data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\" ><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper--><link rel='stylesheet' id='dashicons-css' href='https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/css\/dashicons.min.css?ver=6.8.5' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<link rel='stylesheet' id='wppic-style-css' href='https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/dist\/wppic-styles.css?ver=6.1.1' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1\" id=\"jquery-core-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1\" id=\"jquery-migrate-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"wppic-script-js-extra\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\nvar wppicAjax = {\"ajaxurl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themeisle.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-admin\\\/admin-ajax.php\"};\n\/* ]]> *\/\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/assets\/js\/wppic-script.min.js?ver=6.1.1\" id=\"wppic-script-js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we&#8217;re going to use the File Manager plugin. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-file-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This tool<\/a> supports the editing of files (including copy-pasting, deleting, uploading, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/downloadable-files-in-wordpress\/\">downloading<\/a>, and zipping), all directly from the <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-backend\/\">WordPress backend<\/a>.
