Code Engine (Pro)

Adding custom PHP behavior to a WordPress site can involve editing core files, making changes harder to manage. Code Engine (Pro) gives site owners and developers a place to write and organize snippets within WordPress. Snippets can run through WordPress hooks and filters, in response to REST API calls, or on schedules, giving them several ways to handle site tasks.

The plugin includes code validation and error checking before snippets run, along with Safe Mode to disable problematic snippets. Its editor provides syntax highlighting, while snippet management tools let you categorize, search, and turn snippets on or off. Import and export options help move snippets between sites or share them with a team.

Features

• PHP snippet editor: Write and manage custom PHP snippets in an editor with syntax highlighting, all within your WordPress environment.
• Validation and error checks: Check code for syntax errors before execution, helping you identify problems before a snippet runs.
• Safe Mode execution: Safe Mode disables problematic snippets to help protect site stability if a snippet causes an issue.
• Hooks and filters: Run custom snippets through WordPress hooks and filters to add behavior at specific points in the WordPress event system.
• REST API triggers: Trigger snippets through REST API calls for programmatic interactions with your WordPress site.
