Plugin Description

Frontend File Explorer is a modern, Windows Explorer–inspired file manager for WordPress. It gives you a clean admin interface to organize and share files plus a responsive frontend explorer powered by a simple shortcode.

Use it to create download areas for courses, client file portals, or resource libraries — without relying on heavy external file management tools.

The plugin provides a seamless experience for both administrators and frontend users:

Explorer-style UI: Navigate with breadcrumbs, toolbar actions, pagination, and Material Icons.
Dedicated Directory: Files are stored in a secured wp-content/uploads/downloads directory.
Admin Management: Create folders, upload files, delete items, and download ZIPs directly from the admin dashboard.
Frontend Integration: Embed the explorer anywhere using the [frontend_file_explorer] shortcode.
AJAX-Powered: Fast, smooth navigation and pagination without page reloads.
Translation Ready: Fully localized with the frontend-file-explorer text domain.

How to use the Explorer:

Admin Interface:
Navigate to File Upload in your WordPress admin sidebar. From this dedicated dashboard, administrators can create nested folders, upload bulk files (featuring multi-select and drag-and-drop), import existing Media Library assets, delete items, and download entire directories as ZIP archives.
Frontend Shortcode:
Embed the user-facing explorer interface on any Page, Post, or Custom Post Type using the following shortcode setup:
```
[frontend_file_explorer]
```
(Renders the explorer starting at the root storage directory)

Advanced Shortcode Usage:
You can explicitly define the starting folder path relative to the root uploads/downloads directory by using the folder attribute:
```
[frontend_file_explorer folder="/course-materials"]
[frontend_file_explorer folder="/clients/acme-corp"]
```
- Frontend Capabilities: Visitors browsing the frontend can view contents, click files to download them, and copy direct sharing links.
- Security: Destructive or mutating actions (like file upload, folder creation, or deletion) remain strictly hidden and blocked from public visitors. They are only accessible to logged-in users who possess the WordPress upload_files capability.
