This plugin enqueues a simple jQuery script that looks for any anchor tag that has an href property to something with a file extension of 1-5 characters and makes it open in a new window or tab.

This means any link to a .pdf, .txt, .ppt, .doc, .xls, .xlst, etc will automatically have the property ‘target=”_blank”‘ added to it so it opens in a new window or browser tab.

Open Files In New Window or Tab

Makes any link to a file open in a new tab by adding 'target="_blank"' to the link.

<h3>🔑 HOW IT WORKS</h3>
Filester plugin helps you easily manage WordPress files so that you don’t have to access directories via FTP or cPanel.
This plugin creates a new menu File Manager in your WordPress dashboard. From then on, you can view all server files, configuration, and media files on your current WordPress website.
You can edit, copy, upload/download files/folders to your server from File Manager section. This toolbar is similar to the settings in an FTP client. It allows you to preview, edit, upload, download, duplicate and delete files or folders.
With Filester, it’s easy to modify the auto-update mechanism with each new version of WordPress. You can quickly search for specific text or code within your WordPress files and replace it efficiently.
With built-in code editors, you can edit code files with syntax highlighting and code completion features for themes, plugins, and custom code snippets. It takes one click to download a plugin’s ZIP file to your local storage. It helps track changes made to files and revert to previous versions if needed.
All webmasters can also <a href="https://ninjateam.org/download-wordpress-media-library/" rel="nofollow ugc">download WordPress media library</a> using Filester download options as well.
<h3>🎏 COMPATIBILITY</h3>
Filester works seamlessly with all major WordPress themes, page builders, and website builders.

File Manager Pro – Filester


One of few that I use with almost every website. Thank you for everything!


Just perfect


If used at WordPress.com hosted sites it doesn't show all the directories inside /wp-content/plugins.  It only shows Akismet


Doesn't work as expected at WordPress.com


It provided a proper text-editor-like experience and didn't have any problem editing files with its ACE editor, writing hundreds of lines of code through this little plugin. I didn't get FTP from this particular site in question, but have managed to do everything I wanted with it without hitting paywalls or annoying stuff. It's rare that I like a plugin this much.


I'm a WP dev working on a site without FTP and this is invaluable


Thanks for the plugin. Not any annoying popups and advertisements.


Great plugin and its completely free


Filester works reliably in our platform.


It works reliably


Так как я занимаюсь поддержкой сайта и вход на хостинг затруднителен - надо ждать смс владельцу, работа с файлами сайта из админки - отличное решение. Спасибо за удобство 


То что надо

Advanced File Manager and Code Editor. Best WordPress file manager without FTP access. No need to upgrade because this is PRO version.
