How It Works?

Example #1

You create a new javascript snippet and add a code you’d like to place on a website. Html snippet editor provides you with tooltips and highlights errors in syntax. Now you need to define where to put a code. For example, you can place the code in header, footer of all pages. This works great for Google Analytics. Create an additional condition: do not show this code to the administrator. It will prevent from tracking user role.

Example #2

You create a text snippet and add a repeated text or a template. You can add a shortcode for the contact form, in case it’s universal for all website pages. Now you can add conditions to show this content to registered users only. Save the text snippet and go to editing pages. If you use the Gutenberg editor, you need to select a special unit. For the classic editor, click the icon of our plugin and add a shortcode of your new snippet.
As you can see, working with snippets is super easy!

History, Developers, Credits

If you are a long-term user, you may be confused about the new plugin update. You’ve been using an old plugin – Insert php 1.3.0, and now got an extended product – Woody Code Snippets. Insert php was the first plugin version to work with PHP code. It was created by Will Bontrager Software, LLC. In 2018, the Webcraftic studio started to actively develop the plugin. We’ve created a roadmap and released several powerful updates that help you to use PHP code more comfortable and secure. Now plugin supports not only PHP but other snippet types as well. We’ve decided to rename the plugin as Woody Code Snippets. This name is more suitable for new and powerful plugin features.

More information about the Insert PHP plugin can be found here:

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Use the PHP Snippets -> Add snippet, to create a new snippet

FAQ

How to pass attributes to a snippet using a shortcode?

Add a new attribute “simple” to the shortcode [wbcr_php_snippet id=”xx” simple=”example”].
The attribute “simple” is available in the snippet as the $simple variable. The attribute name can contain Latin letters and lowercase digits. You can also use underscore.

The snippet code executed with an error and I cannot change it, what should I do?

Do not despair! Even an experienced person can make mistakes. We created a secure mode for this case. Go into it and your snippets code will not be executed.

  1. Go to the safe mode by this link: http://your-site-name.dev/wp-admin/?wbcr-php-snippets-safe-mode
  2. Edit the snippet in which you made a mistake;
  3. Leave safe mode by clicking the link: http://your-site-name.dev/wp-admin/?wbcr-php-snippets-disable-safe-mode

Great, now you should not have any issues!

How to pass page content to a snippet?

Pretty often we’d like to hide a part of a text or a form on particular pages and set up display conditions. You need to wrap the content you’d like to pass to a snippet with shortcodes [wbcr_php_snippet id=”xx” simple=”example”]page content[/wbcr_php_snippet]. Page content in a snippet is located in the $content variable.

Does plugin support Gutenberg editor?

Yes, it does. You can add there special blocks from our plugin.

I used the old plugin Insert php 1.3.0. What should I expect in 2.x.x version?

The old version of Insert php 1.3.0 worked this way: you wrapped PHP code with shortcodes [insert_php]php code[/insert_php]. Starting from version 2.x.x and higher, you need to create special snippets to place PHP code. Use a snippet shortcode [wbcr_php_snippetid=”xx”] instead of shortcodes [insert_php][/insert_php] to execute PHP code on pages.
We recommend you to move all your code from the post editor to snippets.
Important! TinyMCE converts double quotes to special characters. So if you place this code on the snippet editor, it may not work. To avoid this problem, replace all special symbols of double quotes in your PHP code with classic double quotes.

How long are you planning to support the old version 1.3.0?

60% users have already downloaded 2.x.x version. We are trying to reach the number of 80%. The deadline for support is scheduled for March 1, 2019.
You can download the old plugin version from here.

I don’t like the new plugin version. How can I roll back to 1.3.0 and don’t get updates?

First of all, please, take some time to actually go through the new version. Usually, it takes a week to see how useful this version may be for you. If you’ve faced any problems or found some bugs, feel free to contact us at our support forum.
You can always download the old version (1.3.0) from here.
To avoid getting updates, open the PHP file wp-content/plugins/insert-php/insert_php.php and change the plugin version to 9.9.9.

Is there any plugin documentation?

You can find the detailed documentation in here.

Is plugin compatible with GDPR?

Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with GDPR.

Can the plugin be completely uninstalled?

Go to the settings page and enable the “Complete uninstall” option. Than, when you delete Woody Code Snippets using the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress it will clean up the database table and a few other bits of data. Be careful not to remove Woody Code Snippets by deleting it from the Plugins menu unless you want this to happen.

How to remove plugin via ftp client?

You have to delete the folder with the plugin, which is located here: wp-content/plugins/insert-php
This will not clear the plugin data from the database. You have to remove the plugin through the admin panel with the “Full Uninstall” option enabled in order to completely clear the plugin data.

Will I lose my snippets if I change the theme or upgrade WordPress?

No, the snippets are stored in the WordPress database and are independent of the theme and unaffected by WordPress upgrades.

Does plugin work with multisite?

The plugin doesn’t support multi-sites.
We will definitely add multisite support in the future. You can speed up this process by leaving a request on our support forum.

I use HFCM but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do PHP. I used My Custom Functions and I had a PHP error and it crashed my site. So to recover the site I had to change the plugin folder name. I tired to activate MCF and its broken and can't be reactivated, so I had to use File Manager to delete the plugin. So I tried Woody and you know this woodpecker is so smart and safe because of this safe mode link --> http://your-site-name.dev/wp-admin/?wbcr-php-snippets-safe-mode and you can easily change your code and update it without wrecking your site! I'm very happy about this feature and will probably move my HFCM codes to Woody because Woody is much safer for guys like me who nuke their production site daily. Glad to be a Woody Fan! Thank you Woody for offering a free and easy to use plugin!!!

This plugin queries the database 1 time per user comment. If you have a blog post with, say, 300 comments, that's 300 queries just for the comments! If you want to keep your database queries low, like under 100 for the whole page, don't use this plugin. They've said they're going to fix the poor coding but they haven't.

Verbaas me steeds weer over de mogelijkheden van deze plugin. Met behulp van de snippets al heel wat aanpassingen en extra's mogelijk gemaakt op mijn websites
