Code snippet plugins allow WordPress administrators and developers to add custom PHP, JavaScript, CSS, or HTML to a site through a safe, organised admin interface rather than editing theme files or creating a child theme. Each snippet can be individually activated or deactivated, labelled, categorised, and assigned to run only on specific pages, post types, or conditions — providing far more control than a monolithic functions.php edit. Developers use them to share reusable utility code across projects, while non-developers use pre-written snippets to enable hidden WordPress features or customise plugin behaviour. Code snippet plugins also prevent common mistakes: a single broken snippet can be disabled without taking down the entire site.
