Front-End Managed Files Block

Description

Clients can find managing websites difficult, especially when dealing with document uploads and a cluttered media library. With the Front-End Managed Files Block plugin you can make file lists that clients can manage easily via the frontend of the website.

MATCHES YOUR THEME

File blocks inherit style from whichever theme your site is using. This means they will look great with minimal or no CSS tweaking required.

CREATE WITH CLASSIC & GUTENBERG EDITORS

The Front-End Managed Files Block plugin supports the creation of blocks via both the Classic and Gutenberg editors. The Classic editor has a menu dropdown which allows for inserting a file block with ease. The Gutenberg editor has a custom block which makes adding and customising file blocks quick and easy, you can also add or remove files while inside the editor.

IT’S JUST A SHORTCODE

File blocks at their core are just a shortcode – so remain usable with third party page editors. You can even include them inside a widget.

NO MEDIA CLUTTER

Uploaded files are stored directly in the database and don’t clutter your media library with unnecessary files.

CUSTOMISE

  • List Sorting – Sort file blocks by name, upload date, size and type.
  • Disable File Icons – File blocks will show a file type icon by default – this can be disabled per files block.
  • Restrict User Access – Allow only specific users permission to upload and delete, these can even be non-editors. Pro Version Only
  • Restrict File Types – Allow only the file types you want to be uploaded, per files block. Pro Version Only

Reviews

We needed something so anyone in the company could mange the files on their section of the website without giving them page editing rights, this does the job perfectly and saved a lot of time for our website admin who was managing all the updates.
