File Manager cannot open folders
File Manager does not let users open folders, so they cannot browse or reach their site files.

What's going wrong
Site owners using this WordPress file manager report that clicking a folder does nothing, whether they click it directly or use right-click and open. The file tree stays stuck at the top level, so users cannot reach uploads, theme files, or plugin folders. Reviewers describe this as a basic failure that blocks the core purpose of the tool. Owners who need to edit files without FTP are left without a working option and must fall back to other tools or give up. This creates room for a dependable file browser, sold as a standalone tool or a managed setup, that is checked against folder navigation on every update.
