One of the must-have plugins

By (Jorix) on June 27, 2025

WordPress... a plugin for disabling comments (if your site doesn't do comments), a plugin for disabling auto-update notification emails, ... it's getting a bit crazy, right? And what about the dozen of customisations that need to be added to the functions PHP and the tedious (s)FTP edits... Then there is Snippets! A plugin that let's you allow to do all that and more, right from inside your WordPress site. No messing with sFTP, cutting down plugins. It's a must-have plugin for almost any site.
What I also love about it is that the interface is clean. Not too many upgrade funnels like that other plugin.

Ditch the functions.php Headaches

By avirmedia on June 9, 2025

This one's a game-changer! Code Snippets basically turns your random code bits into mini-plugins with a clean interface. No more messing with functions.php and praying you don't break your site. Love that you can toggle snippets on/off like regular plugins. The Cloud integration is neat too - tons of ready-made tweaks. Pro version adds CSS/JS support. Perfect for developers and tinkerers who want organization without the chaos!

Oh dear

Essential plugin for managing code—absolutely worth it

By catalinx777 on May 16, 2025

I've been using Code Snippets Pro for a few months now, and it’s become one of the most valuable tools in my WordPress workflow. Being able to safely add and organize PHP, CSS, and JS snippets without touching theme files has saved me so much time and effort. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the AI assistant is surprisingly helpful for writing and checking code. Cloud sync is another big plus—it makes managing multiple sites a breeze. Everything just works smoothly.

This pluggin has been useful
