How can I edit a file in the File Manager?

The WPX Control Panel includes a built-in File Manager, making it easy to view and edit your website’s files with just a few clicks.

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.​

Step 2. Go to Control Panel

Once logged in:

  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
  2. Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.

If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting, Agency Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.

Step 3. Launch the File Manager

Inside the Control Panel:

  1. Click FTP Users & Files in the left-hand menu.
  2. Then click the File Manager button in the newly opened tab.

Step 4. Edit the File

Navigate to the folder containing the file you want to edit. (Example: domains/wpxfilemanager.com/public_html)

Double-click it, or right-click on the file and choose Edit from the dropdown.

In the editor:

  • You’ll see the file name at the top (1).
  • Make your changes, then click Save (2).
  • A notification will confirm the file was saved successfully (3).

That’s it! You’ve now edited your file directly from the File Manager.
