Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Frontend File Explorer

Yes — the plugin is 100% free and open source (GPLv2+). Optional support contributions keep it maintained and secure.

In a dedicated wp-content/uploads/downloads directory, kept separate from your Media Library. Back it up like any other uploads folder.

No. Public visitors can only browse folders, download files, and copy file links. Uploading, creating folders, and deleting require a logged-in user with the upload_files capability (Administrators and Editors by default).

Yes. Use the folder attribute: [frontend_file_explorer folder="/clients/acme-corp"] renders the explorer starting inside that folder.

Yes. The explorer is embedded via a standard WordPress shortcode, so it works with any theme and fits any shortcode-ready area — Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, widgets, and more.

Yes. Any folder offers a one-click "Download as ZIP" action that bundles the whole directory on the fly.

By default, allowed file types are defined via options set during activation. You can adjust the allowed extensions by updating the plugin options (e.g., frontend_file_explorer_allowed_file_types).

Yes. Each site manages its own uploads/downloads directory. You can network-activate the plugin for consistency across sites.

The plugin is fully localization-ready and uses the frontend-file-explorer text domain. Use tools like Loco Translate or Poedit to create translations and drop .mo files in the languages/ directory.

Open the plugin's admin page and toggle Hide author credits in the Preferences card. Credits are removed from the DOM entirely — no CSS hacks.
