Hover Highlights is a simple WordPress plugin that adds a subtle highlight effect to the Gutenberg/Block Editor. When you hover over a block, it gets highlighted with a dashed outline and a box-shadow. The highlight disappears when you focus on the block to reduce distraction.
This plugin is ideal for content creators who want to visually distinguish individual blocks within the Block Editor.
The code and this readme are mostly written by ChatGPT.

Code Prettify

I tried to use this plugin in WP 5.0.2 and it works. I got an issue with Litespeed cache configuration and seems we should exclude this plugin javascript from an optimization process. Then you will be fine!

It works as expected!

Perfect. Automatic.

Finally a plugin that works with the outdated "Crayon Syntax Highlighter" plugin

So I don't have to mess around with every post.

Good replacement

Your plugin makes me very secure and happy to use because it doesn't make me dependent, I can disable it without affecting the articles. Good job.

I just hope you can keep the plugin up to date to be compatible with new versions of WordPress.

Thank you!

Please keep update to compatible with WordPress version
