File List Directory (Pro Version)
This must be relative to your WordPress home folder. (ABSPATH)
- Default Location: wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/
- The directory you enter will be created if it does not exist.
Front-Side Display
Display the file list to everyone, just to logged in users, just to administrators or to nobody. You can use the uploader without showing the file list.
Back-Side Settings Access
Determine who can access the back-side settings. Access can be based on WordPress user roles.
Columns to Show: Thumbnail, Name, Date, Size, and Owner
Sort the list by File Name, Date, or Size Limit the columns of file details to display on the front-side file list.
Sort By: Name, Date, File Size, or Randomly
You can sort the file list by the file name, its date, its size or randomly.
The file date format uses the format selected on your WordPress General Settings page.
Reverse Order: Normal or Descending
Check this box to reverse the default sort order. The list is sorted Ascending by default: A to Z, Small to Large, Old to New
File List Performance
Choose how often the file list on your disc drive is re-scanned. Set to zero to re-scan on each list page load.
If you use FTP or another method to upload files to your list, set the interval to zero. If your list rarely changes or you only add files from the Admin List, set the interval high.
Hi Mitch,
Could you let me know how to change this CSS for additional file lists e.g. [eeSFL list="2"] etc.
#eeSFL td.eeSFL_Thumbnail, #eeSFL td.eeSFL_Thumbnail img {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
Use the Post ID to define the page…
.page-id-19 #eeSFL td.eeSFL_Thumbnail, #eeSFL td.eeSFL_Thumbnail img {width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
I can’t seem to change the color on my file name text when it shows on my page. Where do I do This?
Just add this CSS to your theme file to define the color…
#eeSFL .eeFiles td a { color: #000; }This would make the link text black
You can do a lot with the list styling using CSS.
Mitch,
Would it be possible for me to change to a list display rather than a table?
Bruce
There is no setting to do this, but you could accomplish this with some jQuery. All of the table elements have clear classes or IDs.
Estoy buscando un plugin que me permita realizar cargue masivo de archivos pdf pero necesito distribuirlo de dos formas:
1. La primera es que solo los usuarios que inicien sesión puedan ver los archivos de información general en un área pavada general, ejemplo actas, reglamentos.
2. La segunda es que solo usuarios que inicien sesión puedan ver, en un área aun más privada, archivos que solo le conciernen a él, ejemplo, memos, cuentas.
Usuarios que no hayan iniciado sesión y entren al sitio web no pueden acceder a ningún archivo, ni siquiera sabrían de su existencia.
Esto se puede hacer con la version gratuita o la versión paga? Este plugin tiene ese alcance? Cómo s eharia?
Si, esto se puede hacer. Necesitará la versión Pro junto con la extensión File Access Manager.
Yes, this can be done. You will need the Pro version along with the File Access Manager extension.
I’m looking for a plugin that allows me to bulk upload pdf files but I need to distribute it in two ways:
1. The first is that only users who log in can see the general information files in a general area, eg minutes, regulations.
2. The second is that only users who log in can see, in an even more private area, files that only concern him, for example, memos, accounts.
Users who have not logged in and enter the website cannot access any file, they would not even know of its existence.
This can be done with the free version or the paid version? Does this plugin have that scope? How would it be?
I made changes to the File Settings and hit the “Save” button. It takes me to a wordpress login screen. No matter what I enter, it doesn’t accept it.
I called my provider, and after looking at the error logs they said it might be a plugin compatibility issue. Is your plugin compatible with the The7 theme? Have you ever had this issue before?
Please let me know what you find.

Please see my recent email replies to you and Jim regarding this.
Hi, I don’t appear to have the field that lets me change the list folder. See https://i.imgur.com/jAxZuGu.png – it’s just not there. Is there any way around this?
Many thanks
The ability to specify a custom file list directory was removed from the free version of Simple File List as of version 4.2.8. This feature is now a part of the Pro version.
I have both the add-ons and love the capabilities of this plugin.
I would like to be able to change the sort order field and Asend/Desend via short code so different folder lists can be sorted differently. Is that possible? If not is it something you would consider for an update?
Yes you can…
Specify a sort order for the file list
[eeSFL sortby="Name, Date, Size, or Random" sortorder="Descending or Ascending"]

How to set the root directory to literally the ROOT directory of my website?
If I enter “/” or “” or “//” as path, the plugin goes into default “wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/” automatically.
There are several locations that are not allowed, your WordPress home dir, anything above that, and the core WordPress directories starting with wp-. You do not want to use these locations for security reasons.
Est-il possible de grossir les bouton OUVERT et TÉLÉCHARGER
Yes, add this CSS to your theme. Change the size as needed.
Oui, ajoutez ce CSS à votre thème. Modifiez la taille selon vos besoins.
small.eeSFL_ListFileActions { font-size: 100%; }Hello,
We installed this plugin and seem to have a problem with the “File List Directory”.
At first, we used a directory that already existed as /public_html/files…that didn’t work.
Then we set up a directory /public_html/wp-content/uploads/files…that didn’t work either.
There are sub-directories in the “files” directory and we have the scan set to zero.
WordPress files are located in /public_html
We must be missing something for the files to display or be found?
Thanks for your help.
Don’t include the public_html in your path. This should work …
wp-content/uploads/files/
… or simply …
files/
… if you want the list in your home folder.
Make sure to use the trailing slash.
Hola,
Estoy intentado listar unos archivos pero que están dentro de carpetas. No se si este plugin permite realizar una busqueda por nombre y a continuación listar aquellos que tengan el parámetro pasado.
Y si es así como lo podría hacer.
Me urge la respuesta. Gracias.
Deberá comprar la extensión de la carpeta para enumerar los archivos dentro de las subcarpetas.
Si compra la extensión de búsqueda, puede buscar archivos según sea necesario.
Hi Mitch,
Can I differentiate between user roles? I have 2 custom user roles that must not see each others file list.
Best,
Chrilles
Using the folder extension, you can create separate pages for each user containing their folder, then use WordPress’ “Password Protected” feature to restrict each user. Alternatively, there are plugins that can limit page access-by-user.
Hi. Is possibility search files in to plugins? Tanks for you respons
Not at this time, but I do plan on adding features for large file lists, including search and pagination of lists. Until then, I would recommend adding the Folder Support extension so you can keep smaller separate lists.
