Easily Upload & Delete Files
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.
