  Hello,
  
  I am trying to edit files via the WP File Manager (Free) and it is constantly refreshing. For example, if I go into the ./wp-content/themes/ directory, the page refreshes back to the root directory. This happens every minute.
  
  How am I able to stop this refreshing issue that I am having?
  
  Thank you

  Hey @decaffeinated2d651ca9ac,

  That does sound frustrating! Constant refreshing would definitely make it hard to get anything done.

  Since WP File Manager (Free) is a third-party plugin, this forum isn’t able to troubleshoot issues with it directly. The best place to get help is the plugin’s support forum on WordPress.org:
  https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-manager/

  The plugin developer or community there should hopefully be able to help you dig into why it’s refreshing like that.
