What the author says it does
Woody Code Snippets is a WordPress plugin that helps you insert code into your site without editing theme files.
Many WordPress users still add PHP, JavaScript, CSS, tracking pixels, or ad scripts directly into functions.php, header.php, or footer.php. This approach breaks easily when themes update and becomes hard to manage as your site grows.
Woody solves this by giving you a centralized code snippet manager where you can safely add header scripts, footer scripts, PHP snippets, custom CSS, JavaScript, and HTML from the WordPress admin.
You can use Woody as a header and footer code manager, a PHP snippet plugin, or a way to reuse content and scripts across your site using shortcodes or automatic insertion.
Each snippet can be enabled or disabled instantly, placed in specific locations like before content or after paragraphs, and shown only when certain conditions are met.

Questions the author answers
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?
Don’t worry. Mistakes can happen, even with experienced users. Woody includes a Safe Mode that temporarily disables snippet execution so you can fix the issue.
- Go to the safe mode by this link: http://your-site-name.dev/wp-admin/?wbcr-php-snippets-safe-mode
- Edit the snippet in which you made a mistake;
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.
Is there any plugin documentation?
You can find the detailed documentation in here.

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
