WPIDE for WordPress
Manage files, edit code and add 3,000+ free code snippets, right from your WordPress dashboard.
WPIDE, taken apart. Hover a part to see what it does.
WPIDE has a home of its own.
Buy it here or at wpide.com: the same plugin, from the same team.
Your whole wp-content, one tab away. No FTP. No cPanel.
WPIDE is a file manager, code editor and snippets manager inside WordPress. Browse, upload, zip and search every plugin, theme and upload, edit any file in a real editor that knows WordPress, and add code snippets without touching theme files.
A file manager that feels like a desktop.
Every file in wp-content
Grid, Group or List view, sorted by name, size or date. Folder sizes are worked out when you ask.
Right-click for everything
View, download, duplicate, copy, move, rename, zip, unzip or delete, from a menu on any item.
Drag in files and folders
Drop them on the page. They upload in chunks, several at once, with progress for each.
Deep search
Search a folder and everything below it by keyword, with the folder each result lives in.
Many files at once
Tick what you need and download, zip, copy, move or delete it in one go.
Code snippets, without editing theme files.
Add PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Universal and Text snippets, choose where each one runs, and switch it on or off on its own. Pin the ones you open most.
- Site-wide header, body or footer, or only in the admin
- Before or after posts, content, paragraphs and excerpts
- Shortcodes, with attributes
- Import from six other snippet plugins, export to JSON
- Paid plans add SCSS and Blocks snippets, 65 locations, schedules, smart tags, revisions and a private testing mode
Snippets that run only where you say.
3,000+ snippets, ready to install
A library by category, plus 10 packs that install several in one click. No account needed, and each one installs switched off for you to review.
Broken code is stopped
PHP that doesn’t parse is refused when you save. A snippet that keeps failing is switched off on its own, and safe mode runs the site without snippets.
Header and footer scripts
Paste tags and scripts into the site-wide header, body or footer, all from one page.
Conditional logic
Run a snippet only for logged-in users, a user role, a type of page, a post type, a taxonomy, a referrer or a page URL, with rules in AND and OR groups.
32 code generators
Fill in a form for a post type, taxonomy, menu, widget, cron job or schema markup, and get the code as a snippet.
Autocomplete that knows WordPress.
In PHP files, three letters bring up matching functions, and the Info Bar explains the one you’re on: what it does, its parameters, what it returns, and a link to the manual.
- 2,177 WordPress functions and 4,303 PHP functions
- Parameters with the optional ones marked
- Links to the WordPress codex and the PHP manual
- Autocompletion and the Info Bar can each be turned off
A code editor, not a text box.
Tabs, a tree, and folding
Open as many files as you like in tabs you can reorder. The tree shows each open file’s tab number, and code folds at its arrows.
Shortcuts you already know
Save, duplicate, remove and move lines from the keyboard, plus find and replace.
Images, audio and video
Images open in a gallery; audio and video play in the built-in player.
Find and replace
Search the file as you type, match case, whole words or a regular expression, and replace one match or all of them.
Skin
Skin Mode
Six skins and a dark mode
Pick the app’s accent color, and switch to dark, with the editor in a dark theme to match.
Mistakes don’t reach your site.
Before a PHP file saves, WPIDE parses it. A syntax error stops the save and tells you what and where; and before a file’s first save, the original is backed up.
- PHP checked before every save
- The original and the change kept in a dated backups folder
- Backups cleared after five days, or the days you set
- Syntax highlighting and lint marks for PHP, JS, CSS, HTML and JSON
And if one does, the Recovery Wizard.
If an edited file still brings the site down with a fatal error, WPIDE shows the file, the error and the line, and restores the latest backup with one click.
- The file, the error, the line and the backup it will use
- One click to recover
- On the front end, the backup is restored on its own
Pro opens the rest of WordPress.
Database Manager
Browse every table, add, edit and delete rows, change a table’s structure and indexes, and export. Safe Editing keeps the rows that could lock you out read-only.
Advanced Mode
Edit everything, WordPress core files and wp-config.php included.
Image Editor
Resize and crop, apply filters, add frames, text, stickers, patterns and gradients.
Config Manager
See every constant in wp-config.php, and add, change or remove them, with duplicates refused.
Auto save and Quick Diff
Drafts save every few seconds without touching the file. Restore one, or compare it side by side first.
Search & Replace
Find text anywhere in the database and replace it, serialized settings included. Preview the changes first, and undo any run.
Media optimizer
Recompress every image size, kept only when smaller, with WebP or AVIF copies served with the original as fallback. Replace an image and keep its URL; originals are backed up.
Conversion tracking, without code.
From WPIDE Plus, the Tracking tab adds advertising pixels and analytics from a form, tracks store events and clicks, and sends purchases from your server too, so ad blockers don’t hide them.
- Meta Pixel and Conversions API, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat and OpenAI Ads
- WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and MemberPress events, tracked automatically
- Click events for any CSS selector
- Consent through the WP Consent API or your banner’s cookie, with Google Consent Mode v2
One snippet library for every site.
WPIDE Cloud keeps your snippets in a private library, with their versions, and deploys them to the sites you connect. It needs an active subscription; deployments start at WPIDE Pro.
- Deploy to many sites at once, and roll back
- A change made on a site is never overwritten: it’s staged for you to review
- Team members as owners, deployers or viewers
- An AI assistant that writes, improves, explains and fixes snippets: 100 credits / year on Basic and Plus, 300 credits / month on Pro, 1,000 credits / month on Bundle, and more with the WPIDE AI add-on
- Network snippets for multisite, on WPIDE Bundle
Set up the way you work.
Every option saves the moment you change it, and each one resets to its default in a click.
- Root path, upload size, chunk size and simultaneous uploads
- Folder sizes on demand, on load, or off
- Which file types open in the editor
- Font size, tab size, soft tabs, scroll speed and auto-closing brackets
- Full screen editing in every paid plan
- Works on multisite, from the network admin
Everything it does
- AI Assistant 100 free AI credits a year; more with the WPIDE AI add-on.

Excellent File Manger
Beginners needing help managing files this plugin is for you. Trust me, you’ll want to have it until you learn to navigate your files in other ways.

Great Plugin

Excellent!
It’s been awesome to not have to bounce back-and-forth between FTP’s somewhat unreliable upload speeds and my browser, particularly for integrating GSAP animation code.

so incredibly useful!
the best thing is not having to be at my dev machine and in phpstorm to make minor edits to functions.php and .css files. now i can do this from any browser i happen to be at, and the WPIDE source editor works really good. this is so convenient! A+++ thanks!

Simply excellent ! A must have.
A complete file manager and code editing solution for WordPress! I love the automated File Restore Wizard that appears instead of the white screen of death, it will allow you to restore erroneous files in a click of a button!

Very good editor
I use this plugin regularly for coding online directly. Most of my works involve editing online sites directly, this plugin makes it very easy to do so! Thanks for such a great plugin!

Worked perfectly!
Files were easy to find and edit. Much easier than having to ftp a newer version of the file in order to make changes.

Great tool for troubleshooting customers sites
Found this great plugin most useful when troubleshooting on customers sites – it’s such a relief to know that this plugin checks and validates the code before saving files. This avoids crashing your customer's site while troubleshooting! Keep up the good work!
