Fast directory explorer and file/code viewer with syntax highlighting.

Bowo

<p>Code Explorer allows you to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Swiftly browse through the directories</strong> in your WordPress installation with an AJAX-driven interface. </li>
<li><strong>Conveniently view the code in files with syntax highlighting</strong> (using <a href="https://codemirror.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">CodeMirror</a>). It covers files commonly used throughout the WordPress development cycle such as PHP, HTML, Javascript, CSS, JSON and Markdown files.</li>
<li><strong>Securely edit theme and plugin files</strong> using WordPress core’s file editor. Since v1.4.0, you can also create empty files and folders inside the /themes and /plugins folders, which can then be edited.</li>
</ul>
<p>This way, Code Explorer is a good alternative to a full-fledged <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/" rel="ugc">File Manager</a> if your primary focus is viewing code in WordPress core, themes or plugins. It may also be useful to enable quick prototyping of themes or plugins in your teaching / workshop.</p>
