Super Easy File Uploading in WordPress

By Cory Miller

WP programming genius Chris Jean has recently posted a new plugin called WP Easy Uploader that allows you to upload files, like images, plugins and even THEMES to WordPress inside WordPress (read: no FTP needed) …

This is an awesome plugin and helps present a neat solution for our WP clients. Before this plugin, if you didn’t know how to use FTP (see our FTP Demystified post here), then you had to somehow upload photos or whatever through the Write Post panel, then somehow link them.

Also: For hard-core programmers, check out his excellent Developer’s Assistant plugin too. I’m far from being a programmer, but with this plugin, someone smarter than me could create and troubleshoot all kinds of things within the WP Dashboard.

Kudos Chris! Keep up the excellent work!
