How do I manage files in WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:49 am

If you’re like most WordPress users, you probably manage your files in the WordPress admin area. WordPress provides a variety of ways to do this, including the file editor in the admin area and the file manager built in to the WordPress media library.

Regardless of how you manage your files, it’s important to remember that your files are always accessible in the WordPress admin area. You can FTP, copy, or move files to any location on your computer, but they’ll always be accessible in the WordPress admin area.

If you don’t have a lot of files and you only need to access them occasionally, you can create a temporary folder on your computer and upload your files there. Then, when you need to access them, you can open the folder in the WordPress admin area.

PRO TIP: Warning: Please be careful when managing files in WordPress. Make sure to backup your files before making any changes.

If you have a lot of files and you need to keep them organized, you can create folders in the WordPress media library and place your files in those folders. Then, you can access your files by clicking the name of the folder in the WordPress media library.

If you want to access a file from outside of the WordPress admin area, you can use the file manager built in to the WordPress media library. This manager provides a variety of ways to access your files, including drag and drop.

Overall, managing your files in WordPress is easy. Just remember that your files are always accessible in the WordPress admin area.
