Code Snippets Plugin
The code-snippets plugin provides WPCode-like site-level HTML and JavaScript injection. It is useful for analytics, tag managers, verification snippets, chat widgets, heatmaps, or small operational scripts.
Slots
The plugin writes snippets into standard frontend hook slots:
| Slot | Output location |
|---|---|
theme.head.end |
Before </head>. |
theme.body.open |
Immediately after <body>. |
theme.footer.end |
Before </body>, after theme scripts. |
Themes must declare these hooks in layouts/base.tmpl for the plugin to work.
Admin UI
The plugin settings page exposes three text areas:
- Head snippets.
- Body-open snippets.
- Footer snippets.
Saving the settings updates plugin options and clears frontend cache.
Safety Notes
The plugin intentionally stores raw snippets because its purpose is code injection. Only trusted administrators should have access to this settings page. Avoid using it for large application logic; create a plugin or theme change instead.
