Help Menu

Help Menu

The Help section in the Settings sidebar provides quick access to documentation, support, and tools.

Accessing the Help Section

Click the user avatar icon (circle with person silhouette) in the top-right of the navigation bar to open the dropdown, then select Help.

If $use_auth is set to false (authentication disabled), the nav shows a gear icon instead of the user avatar. The Help option is in the same dropdown either way.

Help Documents

Links to the MFM Wiki — the full documentation hub you're reading right now. Start at the Home page for an overview and navigation to all topics.

Report Issue

Direct link to the GitHub Issues page. Use this to report bugs, unexpected behavior, or to request features.

When reporting a bug, include:

• MFM version (shown in the Settings page header)
• PHP version (php -v)
• Web server (Apache, Nginx, etc.)
• What you expected to happen
• What actually happened
• Any error messages from the browser console or PHP error log

Generate New Password Hash

Opens a quick inline hash generator. Enter a password, click Generate, copy the bcrypt hash into your config.php or microfilemanager.php.

For a more complete tool (random password generator, strength meter, copy button):

Password Hash Generator (opens in new tab)

Opens https://doonze.github.io/microfilemanager/pwd.html — a fully client-side bcrypt hash generator. Your password never leaves your browser.
