13
14 == Description ==
15
16 **WPIDE** is an Advanced **File Manager** and **Code Editor** plugin for WordPress that you can use completely for free.
17
18 The Code Editor lets you edit any file within your wp-content folder, not just plugins and themes.
19
20 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.
21
22 The File Manager lets you copy, move, duplicate, create archives, download, upload, edit, delete, preview files & directories **without FTP or cPanel access**.
23
24 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.
25

109 == Installation ==
110
111 1. Upload the WPIDE folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
112 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
113 1. Access WPIDE by clicking the WPIDE menu item in your main administration menu
114
115 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
116
117 = What is in place to stop me from breaking my website - "The white screen of death" =
118
119 When you edit a PHP file, before that file is saved to the filesystem it is syntax checked to make sure there isn't something obvious that will break your site.
120
121 Every file that you edit is backed up before your first save to the filesystem and then on subsequent saves WPIDE will try and make a backup. It will save a maximum of files for up to 5 days to the server.
122
123 As you edit or more specifically save PHP files, in case of a fatal error, the File recovery Wizard will appear and a restore button will display which will allow you to restore the most recent backup.
124
125 If your WordPress install is fully functional then you can use the file manager to browse all of your backed up files (/upload/wpide/backups/), if your WordPress install isn't responding then restoring the file directly via FTP/SSH is the only way.
126
127 The backed up PHP files cannot be accessed/restored from the web directly without the 40 digit nonce/key so should not pose a security concern.
128
129 = Can I override the default file permissions when creating files/directories on the local filesystem =
130
131 Yes you can use the below WordPress settings in wp-config.php which will affect files created with WPIDE and files added during the WordPress upgrade process.
132
133 define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', (0755 & ~ umask()));
134 define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', (0644 & ~ umask()));
135
136 = I get an error notification on the bottom right saying 'something went wrong, unknown error'. How can I fix this ? =
137
138 Some hosts might disable direct access to PHP files which will block the plugin from accessing them.
139
140 Some users reported this issue on **Cloudways**, and they were able to fix it by enabling **Direct PHP File Access** under application settings within Cloudways dashboard.
141
142 This option might be available on other hosting platforms as well.

153 == Changelog ==
154
155 #### V.3.5.10 - 2026-10-05
156 - **fix**: Prevented buffered output from entering editable file contents. The File Editor now opens only complete, valid UTF-8 file reads and rejects malformed responses.
157 - **fix**: Avoided redundant navigation errors when reopening the File Editor.
158
159 #### V.3.5.9 - 15.09.2026
160 - **fix**: Fixed the Plans and Pricing screen failing to load (endless spinner). The pricing request sanitizer no longer strips the action parameter from Freemius admin-ajax calls, which caused admin-ajax to reject pricing data requests with a 400 response.
161
162 #### V.3.5.8 - 21.07.2026
163 - **security**: Hardened Plans and Pricing endpoint validation and testimonial rendering to prevent cross-site scripting.
164
165 #### V.3.5.7 - 13.07.2026
166 - **security**: Strengthened request validation for authenticated WPIDE admin actions.
167
168 #### V.3.5.6 - 17.04.2026
169 - **fix**: Restored the File Editor admin sidebar route so it opens the editor instead of bouncing back to File Manager.
170 - **new**: Added separate editor settings for Autocompletion and the Info Bar, both enabled by default.
171 - **fix**: Resetting the new editor settings now correctly restores their enabled default value on existing installs.
172 - **fix**: File save state detection now uses the actual loaded content baseline, preventing the Save button from appearing when a file has not changed.
173
174 #### V.3.5.5 - 14.04.2026
175 - **fix**: Updated bundled Composer libraries to reduce plugin conflicts and PHP 8.5 deprecation noise.
176 - **security**: Upgraded `symfony/http-foundation` to the supported 5.4 LTS line.
177 - **update**: Refreshed bundled Composer packages including `monolog/monolog`, `composer/installers`, and `symfony/mime`.
178 - **fix**: Fatal error drop-in now respects silenced PHP errors and the active `error_reporting()` mask, preventing noisy `preg_match()` warnings from other plugins being written to `debug.log`.
179 - **new**: Active file editor state is now reflected in the URL so refreshing the page restores the same file.
180 - **fix**: Image editor state loading now avoids PHP 8.5 `json_decode(null)` deprecation notices, and logger writes now fall back to a valid file when the active `error_log` setting points to a directory.
