An easy, clean and simple way to add code snippets to your site.

Code Snippets is an easy, clean and simple way to add code snippets to your site. It removes the need to add custom snippets to your theme theme's functions.php file.

A snippet is a small chunk of PHP code that you can use to extend the functionality of a WordPress-powered website; essentially a mini-plugin with less load on your site. Most snippet-hosting sites tell you to add snippet code to your active theme's functions.php file, which can get rather long and messy after a while. Code Snippets changes that by providing a GUI interface for adding snippets and actually running them on your site just as if they were in your theme's functions.php file.

Code Snippets provides graphical interface, similar to the Plugins menu, for managing snippets. Snippets can can be activated and deactivated, just like plugins. The snippet editor includes fields for a name, a visual editor-enabled description, tags to allow you to categorize snippets, and a full-featured code editor. Snippets can be exported for transfer to another side, either in XML for later importing by the Code Snippets plugin, or in PHP for creating your own plugin or theme

If you have any feedback, issues, or suggestions for improvements please leave a topic in the Support Forum. If you like this plugin, or it is useful to you in any way, please review it on WordPress.org.

Code Snippets can be used in these different languages thanks to the following translators:

• German - David Decker and Joerg Knoerchen
• Slovak - Ján Fajčák
• Russian - Alexander Samsonov
• Chinese - Jincheng Shan
• Serbo-Croatian - Borisa Djuraskovic from Web Hosting Hub
• Japanese - mt8
• French - oWEB

1. Log into your WordPress admin
2. Click Plugins
3. Click Add New
4. Search for Code Snippets
5. Click Install Now under "Code Snippets"
6. Activate the plugin

1. Download the plugin
2. Extract the contents of the zip file
3. Upload the contents of the zip file to the wp-content/plugins/ folder of your WordPress installation
4. Activate the Code Snippets plugin from 'Plugins' page.

Network Activating Code Snippets through the Network Dashboard will enable a special interface for running snippets across the entire network.

Snippets that you add to this plugin are not meant to be inserted into the text editor. Instead, they are run on your site just as if they were added to your functions.php file.

No, just copy all the content inside those tags. If you accidentally forget (or just like being lazy), the tags will be stripped from the beginning and end of the snippet when you save it. You can, however, use those tags inside your snippets to start and end HTML sections

You can try activating 'safe mode'. All snippets will not execute while safe mode is active, allowing you to access your site and deactivate the snippet that is causing the error. To activate safe mode, add the following line to your wp-config.php file, just before the line that reads /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:

define('CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE', true);

To turn safe mode off, either comment out this line or delete it.

Yes. Just add it but do not activate it yet.

The CodeMirror source-code editor will add line numbers, syntax highlighting, bracket matching, search, tabulate and other cool features to the code editor.

• Ctrl-F / Cmd-F : Start searching
• Ctrl-G / Cmd-G : Find next
• Shift-Ctrl-G / Shift-Cmd-G : Find previous
• Shift-Ctrl-F / Cmd-Option-F : Replace
• Shift-Ctrl-R / Shift-Cmd-Option-F : Replace all

No, the snippets are stored in the WordPress database and are independent of the theme and unaffected by WordPress upgrades.

Yes, when you delete Code Snippets using the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress it will clean up the database table and a few other bits of data. Be careful not to remove Code Snippets by deleting it from the Plugins menu unless you want this to happen.

Yes! You can individually export a single snippet using the link below the snippet name on the 'Manage Snippets' page or bulk export multiple snippets using the 'Bulk Actions' feature. Snippets can later be imported using the 'Import Snippets' page by uploading the export file.

Yes. Click the checkboxes next to the snippets you want to export, and then choose Export to PHP from the Bulk Actions menu and click Apply. The generated PHP file will contain the exported snippets' code, as well as their name and description in comments.

You can run snippets across an entire multisite network by Network Activating Code Snippets through the Network Dashboard. You can also activate Code Snippets just on the main site, and then individually on other sites of your choice.

Snippets are stored in the wp_snippets table in the WordPress database. The table name may differ depending on what your table prefix is set to.
