Insert PHP Code Snippet

This is a great plugin when you don’t have errors in php. Just don’t re-use functions with the same name on the same page with menus / widgets that use the snippet or it will throw a broken site error.

Minus 1 star on the latest version as when I try to run a snippet on demand I get a json error (but am not using json), regardless of whether or not that code is already being used somewhere else successfully in snipet form.

What’s really cool is you can use a post’s custom fields to control variables in php snippets via:
$var = get_post_meta(#_of_post,'name_of_custom_field',true);

And then $someothervar = $$var to access the custom field’s raw value to make custom variables a snap without having to write an admin interface in the dashboard for custom variables.

I also use a different php snippet program that suddenly had several of my snippets fail. I loaded this snippet program; and, using the exact same snippet code, it worked fine.

I wrote some custom code to query an API and display a map of the results. This plugin is a simple and fuss-free way to add this to a specific web page using a shortcode. In due course we’ll probably pay for the version that supports JS as well.

Love it 🥰

It simply does what it is supposed to do. And it does it very well, reliably and easily. That’s how you imagine a helpful plugin to be. Perfect.
