WPIDE Pro

File editing and site maintenance in WordPress

WPIDE Pro extends WPIDE’s file manager and code editor with tools for draft recovery, broader file access, configuration, picture editing, and database work. Availability varies by paid plan, and file access depends on your hosting permissions.

Find and manage documents

Browse a file tree, set a custom root path, use the context menu, search folders, and calculate folder sizes. You can make, copy, move, duplicate, preview, download, upload, archive, and delete files or directories. Batch downloads and uploads, ZIP and unzip operations, and drag-and-drop uploads are supported.

Edit multiple files in tabs with line numbers, syntax highlighting, matching-parenthesis highlighting, automatic indentation, code folding, find and replace, and keyboard commands. WordPress and PHP autocomplete, PHP parsing and validation, backups before saving, and the File Recovery Wizard support the editing workflow. WPIDE uses the WordPress filesystem API and includes an image gallery plus a player for supported video and audio files.

Autosave drafts and quick comparisons

Choose an interval for autosave to write your work to a separate draft file. The original file remains unchanged. If you close the editing page before saving manually, you can use the draft for recovery.

Auto Saved Quick Diff compares the draft with the current file. From there, choose whether to restore the autosaved version or keep the current one. A full-screen editor toggle gives you more room to work.

Broader access and configuration

File Manager Advanced Mode makes all files and folders available for editing, including WordPress core files and wp-config.php. Use it when your work requires access beyond the usual plugin and theme locations.

The Config Manager shows constants defined in wp-config.php and can add, update, or remove them. Duplicate checks help prevent defining a constant more than once.

Image and database tools

The Advanced Image Editor can resize and crop images, apply filters, add frames or corners, and place text, stickers, patterns, or gradients.

The Database Manager works with viewing and creating tables, adding, updating, or deleting rows, changing table structure, and updating column indexes. The database capability set also includes safe editing.

Using the workspace

Open WPIDE in WordPress and use the file tree or search to locate a file. Work across files in editor tabs, then use autosave drafts and quick diff when you need a recovery point or want to compare changes. Choose Advanced Mode, the Config Manager, image editor, or database tools for the task at hand, and review changes before applying them.
