Is Local by Flywheel software compatible with File Manager Wordpress plugin? File Manager does not show any files of my localhost.

Hi @Sjhaw,

I just tested https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/ with a site running the Preferred Environment in Local and it seems to be working.

Are you running into issues with it? If so, can you provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

By the way, with Local there’s no need for the file manager since all of the files are readily accessible on your computer. Simply right-click on the site in Local’s sidebar and go to “Reveal in Finder” or “Show Folder” depending on your operating system. Once you do that, you’ll see the Local site files right on your computer. From there, you can navigate to app/public to view the WordPress files.

Hi Clay,

Thank you for your email.

From there, you can navigate to app/public to view the WordPress files.

Very good idea. I am totally new to this localhost so I did not know.

The main reason I have this localhost is to learn and test php coding. Any PHP video courses based on Flywheel?
