Great way to do quick code blocks without digging into source files
by atkulp·1 year ago
I’ve been using Code Widget for over a year on https://www.vrvoyaging.com and I love how easy it is to put PHP, HTML, or a shortcode into a page block without fussing with custom widgets. Highly recommended!
Extremely useful

I switched from Drupal 7 to WordPress and this is exactly what I needed to spice up the widgets – in Drupal I used something similar for blocks.
Thanks for the great plugin
