How to organize content in WP-Content
Nowadays we take many things for granted, which for many people seem like magic, and not only in complicated or complex situations.
For example, have you ever stopped to think how magical it is that when you move a little lever on the tap, water comes out? (Well, magic isn’t magic for people in developed countries, but you know what I mean).
The problem comes if sometimes, when you turn that little lever , suddenly the russia phone number list doesn’t come out anymore. That’s when you would have liked to know how that mechanism works (to know “what’s behind it”), in order to save yourself a call to the plumber, in case the problem is not very important.

There are two easy ways to do this, and everyone can choose which one they prefer.

This is the most traditional way, but the slowest when it comes to moving files.
Personally, I like it because, using a good FTP program (for example FileZilla) you can quickly connect to the accounts you need, and it is ideal if you manage more than one client at a time (as in my case).

And once you have the configuration file, you import it into FileZilla:
Using cPanel File Explorer
The other way, also very good, and much faster when managing files, is to access the file explorer that you find in your contracted Webempresa cPanel:
