WPIDE – File Manager & Code Editor

Manage your WordPress site from one workspace. WPIDE brings a file manager, code editor and code snippets together in your dashboard, so you can browse files, edit code and add functionality without switching to FTP or changing your theme. Start free, then add advanced developer tools as your needs grow.

Video overview

Code snippets for WordPress — free

Add custom functionality, styles, scripts and markup without editing your theme’s files. Keep your snippets in one place, activate or deactivate them, and choose where they run.

• Create PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Universal and Text snippets.
• Insert code across your site, in the header, body or footer, around posts, content, paragraphs and excerpts, or in the admin area. Use shortcodes and attributes to place snippets yourself.
• Set conditions for pages, post types, users, roles, URLs, referrers and taxonomies.
• Explore a library of 3,000+ ready-made snippets and 10 one-click packs. The library includes an offline fallback and does not require an account to browse.
• Generate code for post types, taxonomies, menus, cron jobs, schema markup and more with 32 generators.
• Import from WPCode, Code Snippets, Header Footer Code Manager, Post Snippets, Simple Custom CSS & JS and Woody, or export snippets to JSON.
• PHP syntax is checked before saving. Snippets that repeatedly fail can be deactivated automatically, and safe mode helps you recover access.
• Publish snippets to the public WPIDE library; link-only and private publishing require a paid plan.

File manager — free

Work with files and folders in WordPress without switching to an FTP client or hosting control panel.

• Browse a file tree, use the context menu and set a custom root path.
• Create, copy, move, duplicate, rename and delete files and folders.
• Upload files and folders with drag and drop, download in batches, create or extract ZIP archives, search folders and calculate folder sizes.
• Preview images in a gallery and play supported audio and video files.
• Use the WordPress Filesystem API for file operations.

Code editor — free

Edit files in your wp-content folder with a tabbed editor built on Ace.

• Open multiple files, with syntax highlighting, line numbers, matching parentheses, code folding, automatic indentation, find and replace, and keyboard shortcuts.
• Use WordPress and PHP autocomplete and function references.
• Check PHP syntax before saving; file backups and the recovery wizard can help restore a file after an error.
• Choose from editor themes and dark mode.

External services and privacy

The public snippet library periodically requests its catalog from WPIDE Cloud at cloud.wpide.com; a bundled catalog is available when it cannot be reached. Publishing a snippet or using optional cloud features sends the information needed for that action to WPIDE Cloud. When you use the AI assistant, your request and relevant snippet code are sent through WPIDE Cloud to an AI provider after your consent. Conversion tracking sends configured events to the providers you enable. WPIDE also uses Freemius for licensing and optional account services.
