I need to run some code in every WordPress article.

The problem is, by default, WordPress does not execute any PHP in posts. I've tried a wealth of plugins (including ExecPHP and suchlike) but to no avail. How can I get PHP to run in WordPress?

is it the same code for every article? if so why don't you change the wordpress file that creates the post and add the code in there?

The issue is that for earlier posts, it would be replicating the tags I've placed. Also, there's a bunch of other problems to do with how I structure every post. I've thought about this option and found it wouldn't work.
@JackGriffiths: You can do this in your theme, no need to change previous posts.

This is dangerous as it can crash your entire site if it's not secured properly, but you may use the php function eval() to execute php code.

See:

This plugin will save you the hassle of having to make separate custom plugins:

However as others have suggested this does potentially open security exploits as it's likely this code will utilise eval()
