# How to Replace Files

To replace an existing file in your WordPress site using the Filester - WordPress File Manager Pro plugin, follow these steps:

**Step 1: Access the File Manager**

2. In the left-hand menu, **click on "File Manager"** to open the Filester interface.

**Step 2: Locate the File to Replace**

1. Navigate to the folder where the file you want to replace is located. For example, if the file is in the `uploads` directory, expand the folder structure until you find the correct file.

**Step 3: Prepare the Replacement File**

2. Alternatively, right-click inside the folder and select **"Upload files"** from the context menu.
