✅ Step 1: Access the File Manager

• Log in to your Plesk dashboard

• Go to Websites & Domains

• Click on File Manager under your domain

➡ You will now see your website’s file structure.

✅ Step 2: Common Directories Explained

• httpdocs: Your public website root folder

• error_docs: Custom error pages (e.g., 404)

• logs: Access and error logs for your domain

• cgi-bin: For executable scripts (usually unused in WordPress)

✅ Step 3: Upload or Edit Files

• Click Upload to add new files (e.g., theme, plugin, logo, zip)

• Select a file and click Edit in Code Editor to modify its content

• Use Extract if you upload a ZIP file

• Use Permissions to adjust file access (755 for folders, 644 for files is typical)

✅ Step 4: Use File Tools

• Copy / Move: Organize your files

• Rename / Delete: Manage unused files

• Create Directory: Add new folders (e.g., for uploads)

✅ Step 5: Use Code Editor and Syntax Highlighting

Plesk’s built-in editor supports HTML, PHP, CSS, JS, and more – with line numbers and highlighting for easy development.

🧠 Tips:

• Always keep a backup before editing important files

• Use the search bar to find files quickly

• Don’t edit core WordPress files unless you know what you’re doing
