Create custom shortcodes and reusable content and insert them in into your posts and pages.
Post Snippets lets you build a library with snippets of HTML, PHP code or reoccurring text that you often use in your posts and pages. You can use predefined variables to replace parts of the snippet on insert. All snippets are available in the post editor via a button in the Visual mode. The snippet can be inserted as defined, or as a shortcode to keep flexibility for updating the snippet. PHP code is supported for snippets inserted as shortcodes.
This is a wonderful plugin. It is better than I had hoped. It couldn’t be simpler.
I use plugin for years and it helps me a lot to insert texts i need in different places of my page and update it only in one place.
I have been searching for a plugin to do exactly this. Great support as well!
Been using this product for almost a year now. It is a huge help for adding codes seamlessly. It has a user-friendly interface which is really perfect for beginners. It also covers a wide range of code types which even experts in the field will find helpful. It has enhanced our workflow and saved us a huge amount of time. Most important of all is the prompt response from their customer support. First thing everyone should look for when subscribing to something.
We have been using Post Snippets for a few months. It’s a very useful product and support is very fast, if we have any troubles.
