Code Block – share beautiful code snippets readers can copy vs The Icon Block

Turn plain code into beautifully highlighted, copy-ready snippets your readers will love – right inside the Gutenberg editor. Code Snippets Block | Pricing | Support | Live Demos What Is Code Snippets Block? Code Snippets Block is a lightweight WordPress code block plugin for displaying programming code with syntax highlighting, copy-to-clipboard functionality, responsive layouts, and multiple visual themes. Add clean and readable code examples to WordPress posts, pages, documentation, tutorials, developer portfolios, knowledge bases, and technical websites without writing custom code. The plugin works directly with the WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor and supports popular programming languages including PHP, JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, JSON, and SQL. Why Use Code Snippets Block? Publishing code in a normal text editor can make technical content difficult to read and copy. Code Snippets Block turns your code into a structured, highlighted, and copy-ready code block. It is useful for developers, technical writers, educators, bloggers, documentation creators, agencies, and anyone publishing programming content with WordPress. Free Features One-Click Copy Button: Readers copy the entire snippet to their clipboard in a single click, with customizable text/icon. Multiple Syntax Themes: Choose from pre-styled themes (like Dark, Midnight, and Light) to match your website design. Syntax Highlighting: Improve readability for all major languages – PHP, JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and more. Responsive Code Views: Snippets wrap and resize smoothly on mobile, tablet, and desktop. Shortcode Support: Embed code snippets anywhere on your site. Dedicated Block Category: All blocks are grouped under a “Code” category in the Gutenberg inserter for easy access.
