Left to my own devices, I can really hack & whack things out on my WordPress sites. I’m not the best at heeding those warnings that say “You may cause your site to go down if you proceed down path X,” or some form of ‘do this or that scary thing and your site may be toast; irreparable.’ So I both need and use WP File Manager to help set right my oopsies. For one thing, I enjoy the intuitive design, easy to find tools and its overall ease of use. Not once have I had to ask support how to use a feature or where to find it. It is the PERFECT tool for folks like me who love WordPress, but tend to be risky (careless sometimes-?) when it comes to trying out new ideas that require finding and editing key WordPress files or trying out new code. Without the risk though, where’s the reward? I’m so glad and also grateful to have this plugin in my corner; in every WP dashboard I manage and all I’ve managed for at least ~5-7 years now. It’s been a site-saver on too many occasions to count! (so… I upgraded today… 20% now for the next 6 days! NICE!!)
]]>I use it mainly the widget combined with Siteorigin page builder.
One important improvement you can add is a reasonable editor for the snippets.
For example, Ace is a plugged-in JS editor. It would reduce the possibility of simple errors and site crashes.
Another improvement is a safety net that will prevent site crash when an error occurs.
Thank you for the plugin

]]>I also had to add html to the footer.php
After pressing update, it was unsuccessful i saw and I saw a error message saying this cant be done If I wanted to make the change I would have to do it through FTP.
I then went to look at my website and all the theme elemenets have been erased. the content in my website is still there but the theme isnt.
I am not a coder and have little knowledge on HTML and it was probably a bad decision to try edit any PHP file.
I would like to refer back to what it was before, is this possible. all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
]]>I just wanted to mention that at the moment I’ve narrowed down a conflict with Custom Sidebars and WordPress 4.9. Recently, I was receiving an error when trying to edit a php file via the WordPress Editor. Reading about this error it seems to mostly be caused by hosting issues or a plugin/theme conflict. I deactivated all of my plugins, and that resolved the problem. I then went and reactivated them each, and tested my ability to edit php files. The only plugin that seemed to prevent me from being able to edit php files in WordPress Editor is Custom Sidebars.
At the moment it isn’t too big an issue. Whenever we need to edit a php file we will simply have to either do it via ftp or deactivate the plugin temporarily and reactive it once we are done.
I just wanted to let you know that there seems to be a conflict with the new WordPress feature that has any changes to php files being checked by WordPress to ensure it won’t whitescreen your site.
]]>Today I noticed that I’d lost the quick dashboard access feature across the top of a website I was logged into, also some of the widgets have gone missing, images aren’t showing and I can’t edit any of the twentysixteen theme php files.
Installing the Health-check plugin gave me the following failure information (everything else passed ok)
Scheduled event – A scheduled event (wptouch_cron_backup_settings) has failed to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended. (The WPCron plugins are not activated)
Loopback request
The loopback request to your site took too long to complete, this may prevent WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.
Result from testing without any plugins active: The loopback request to your site took too long to complete, this may prevent WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.
Are these recent known issues as 4.9 has been working ok? Can I provide additional information to resolve the problems?
best regards

Functions of the Editor:
– Create own Widgets Areas (Primary, …Header, Footer,…) and place them at individual Places on the Screen. There are just the Areas at fixed Places at the Side of the Homepage.
– You should can create own Frames and Columns and place them free on the Screen.
– Move Link-Categories, Banner, and other Elements to every wished Place, CSS and PHP-Structure should be customized automatically by the Editor.
– adapt Edges of Boxes, Menus … CSS should automatically be synchronized in HTML-Parameters!
– Click right on the Screen and for Example change the Color of Elements.
– Dom-Inspect Pages and Elements, replace, show Content of PHP-Containers in Tree-Menu, how the Structure is and Drop Elements easy from one Element to the other, for Example Place of a Plugin from Header to Footer or opposite.
– Replace Elements, for Example there is only one Banner for every Page and Article; for every Page, there is just one Text-Page that you create, shown at one Place. – With the Editor, you should can define Boxes on the Screen, where every Page shows more then 1 Element, so there should be also
Page-Sets.
Example: 1 Box for individual Banners, 1 Place for additional Informations (Slogans, Media or Links) and the Main-Page.
So with this, every Page shows own Banner, own Informations at the Place you want.
‘Sorry, that file cannot be edited.’
For every single one of them. I can still edit the css but that’s it.
This has never happened before. Any suggestions? I am using paid godaddy hosting.
Thanks.
Alex
