wpForo - Syntax Highlighter

Plain code can be difficult to scan in a forum discussion. This addon formats snippets as color-coded blocks, helping readers distinguish code elements while following a technical conversation. It supports programming languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Ruby, SQL, and TypeScript, along with other languages.

Members can insert code through a [] button in the wpForo post editor, including multiple scripts and samples in a post. Forum administrators can choose which languages are enabled and select a highlighting style in the dashboard settings. Each code block also includes a button for copying its contents.
