Adding Custom Code Snippets using a Third-Party Plugin

Last updated on December 13, 2024

Adding custom code snippets is one of the most powerful ways to enhance or extend a plugin’s functionality. One of the easiest and safest ways to add custom code snippets is by using third-party plugins. This article discusses how to add a custom code snippet using the Code Snippets plugin.

Code Snippets

The Code Snippets plugin is a powerful tool that helps add custom code snippets to a WordPress website without modifying the theme’s files directly, thereby reducing the risk of compatibility issues and making updates smoother. To add a custom code using the Code Snippets plugin, follow these basic steps:

  1. Install and activate the Code Snippets plugin.
    • On installation, a Snippets icon will appear on the WordPress dashboard.
  1. From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to Snippets > Add New
  2. In the Add New Snippet window, type in a suitable Title, Code, Description, and Tags in the space provided.
    • Make sure that the Functions (PHP) tab is active.

  1. Select the location to run the code snippet from the four options available.
    • Run snippet everywhere: Executes the code throughout the site.
    • Only run in administration area: Executes the code within the WordPress admin dashboard.
    • Only run on site front-end: Executes the code only on the public-facing part of the website.
    • Only run once: Executes the code only once.
Select the desired area to run the snippet

    • Make sure the Functions (PHP) tab is active.
