Line Numbers + Line Highlight Not Working


Thank you for contributing this plugin. I went looking for a good option when I noticed the previous one I was using was not working well in Gutenberg. I have been using Prismatic for the last three years without issue.

Code Engine is a versatile plugin that not only manages PHP code snippets but also acts as a powerful bridge connecting WordPress, AI, and external digital platforms. It has three main features:
<ul>
<li>PHP Code Snippets Management</li>
<li>Automation via External Access</li>
<li>Integration with AI</li>
</ul>
Think out of the box, and let your creativity flow, because the possibilities are endless! 🤟
<h3>PHP Code Snippets Management</h3>
With its intuitive interface, Code Engine unlocks a world of possibilities by allowing you to dynamically modify and extend your site’s functionality without the need for extensive coding knowledge. Code snippets can be created and enhanced by AI, making the process even more efficient and user-friendly.
<h3>Automation via External Access</h3>
Code Engine offers seamless integration with the REST API, allowing you to execute runnable code snippets through external processes. This opens up a realm of automation opportunities, enabling you to streamline your tasks and save valuable time. By leveraging tools like Make.com, you can create sophisticated workflows that interact with your site via the REST API.
<h3>Integration with AI</h3>
Take your site to the next level with Code Engine’s cutting-edge AI Engine integration. This powerful feature allows you to collaborate seamlessly with AI models, enabling them to run actions and enrich their responses by accessing your code snippets. By incorporating actionable snippets, you can provide your AI models with the ability to perform tasks and deliver more comprehensive and dynamic answers to user queries.

Code Engine


The Code Engine plugin is an incredibly useful tool for anyone looking to enhance their WordPress site. Its ability to manage PHP snippets in an intuitive way makes it easy to extend site functionality without much hassle. The integration with AI is a standout feature, especially when paired with the developer’s other plugin, The AI Engine, which I also recommend.



The REST API support opens up automation possibilities that are simple to set up yet powerful in their impact. I’ve used it successfully with tools like Make.com to streamline workflows and save time.



Overall, this plugin is a great choice for developers or anyone looking to blend automation, AI, and dynamic functionality into their WordPress site. A solid addition to any toolkit.


Excellent Plugin for Developers and AI Integration

Versatile plugin that not only manages PHP code snippets but also acts as a powerful bridge connecting WordPress, AI, and external digital platforms.
