Prismatic is good plugins for show code in my content,
but Line Numbers + Line Highlight Not Working in my site.



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 Snippets


Excellent plugin working smoothly you can add whatever snippet you like without using extra plugins combinating 2-3-4 snippets to accomplish one job, export them and import them all or one by one without any problem, the Code Snippets PRO is an excellent choice! it help's you to not lose speed from your website by installing plugins for everything that can be done easy with snippets, on update you dont lose anything, you can turn one by one the the snippets you added no more child themes function! php css html javascript is at one secure place. Keep up the great work! Code snippets its a game changer!


Excellent Plugin


I have a webdesign and seo agency in bremen germany and was using the free version of this plugin for every customer. Now i needed a plugin to implement css in a handy fashion and the paid version of the plugin did this, so i upgraded and am very happy with this decision. Best plugin to implement all kinds of snippets!


Im a fan of the plugin


Cloud-sync and Bundles are insanely useful. It saves so much time digging for that snippet I use 6 months ago to do X,Y and Z. Simply amazing


Cloud sync and Bundles are a game charger.


Code Snippets deserves my 5 stars. I mean, if you don't want to get your hands dirty by going into the function.php file, or if you need something that will help you add code that won't be overwritten during updates, Code Snippets is what to go for. 


It's about time


Yea theres some upset people right now and that will happen, it got me too, oh well? WHAT YOU have done and many many others is gave us a free plugin that has worked flawlessly for years, i wont forget that and neither should all of these under me lol. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND CONTINUED SUPPORT. 


Hey CodeSnippets THANK YOU


Having worked with these guys on helping them discover the advantages of AI and now using Code Snippets extensively across all my agency websites. I have to say, What a team!  I've just noticed that they have exceeded 1 million active installs - just wow!  As a plugin owner myself that is no small achievement and instills a sense of trust and  honestly,  a little envy. It's not easy running a plugin business and these guys do it standing on their head. Onwards and upwards helping people use less and less small plugin solutions to help speed up website development across the board. #Kudos


What a team!


Broke my website on production after update because shortcodes stopped working, the developers do not test their codes and that is the worst for a plugin to have.



Since yesterday it is reported and today no update.


Broke my website on production after update


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!


Ditch the functions.php Headaches



I have been using this plugin for a long time and have always been impressed by its clean code and functionality. It is so essential for me that I decided to contribute to the community by completing its Persian translation.



As the PTE (Translation Editor) for the Persian locale, I have reviewed and approved 100% of the strings, so Iranian users can now use this plugin seamlessly in their native language.



Thanks to the developer for this masterpiece!



Best regards, @saeidafshari




دوستان عزیز، ترجمه فارسی این افزونه تکمیل و بازبینی شده است. می‌توانید با خیال راحت از آن استفاده کنید.


Great plugin! Fully translated into Persian (Farsi)


I’ve been using Code Snippets extensively while building custom functionality for my WooCommerce setup, and it has become an essential tool in my workflow.



It provides a clean, safe, and structured way to manage custom code without touching theme files, which is incredibly valuable — especially when you’re experimenting, iterating, and refining features.



As someone building more advanced systems (including a custom reverse auction setup), I really appreciate how reliable and flexible this plugin is. It simply works, and it makes development inside WordPress much more efficient.



Highly recommended for anyone who wants to go beyond basic configurations and start building properly within WordPress.


Essential tool for safe and flexible WordPress development


Excellent for websites that need some additional tweaks without diving in functions.php :) Thanks !


Great for low code websites

An easy, clean and simple way to enhance your site with code snippets.
