Code Snippets 3.8.0 — Smarter, Faster, and Easier to Roll Back

This update brings a wave of improvements to Code Snippets, focused on smoother workflows, better performance, and more control for developers.

🚀 What’s New

  • New Contributors: We’re thrilled to welcome Carolina and Louis (the “s” is silent!) to the team as plugin contributors — bringing fresh perspectives and even more hands on deck. Read more about them on our About Page.
  • File-Based Execution Mode: Run snippets directly from files instead of the database! You can enable this optional feature under Plugin Settings for better version control and flexibility.
  • Version Switch Option: Need to roll back quickly? You can now switch to an earlier plugin version in just a few clicks — no more manual uploads.
  • Polished UI: We’ve made subtle improvements to the editor and sidebar, keeping your workspace clean and efficient.

⚙️ Under the Hood

  • Prefixed Composer Packages: Reduced conflicts with other plugins thanks to safer namespacing.
  • Paginated REST API: The Snippets REST API now supports pagination via page and per_page — making integrations more scalable.
  • Better Previews: The editor preview just got smarter, ensuring what you see is what you get.

🧩 Fixes You’ll Love

  • Snippet evaluation and front-end initialization are now more reliable.
  • JavaScript and CSS snippets no longer load twice (PRO).
  • Fixed conditions that failed to load before the loop (PRO).

“This release is all about stability and control — giving you confidence to build, test, and roll back with ease.”

👉 Update now to Code Snippets 3.8.0 and enjoy a smoother, safer experience.

He is a web creator at heart and a natural builder who somehow turned solving other people’s problems into a career. As Global Community Manager at Elementor and co-founder of Code Snippets, Verdi spends his days making WordPress feel less intimidating and untangling issues that usually begin with “it was fine five minutes ago.” He believes in long-term relationships, learning by doing, and teaching people how to fish—while calmly asking why they brought a toaster to the lake. Away from the screen, Verdi is a husband, a proud dad of two, powered by curiosity, dry humor, and a lifelong habit of overthinking things just enough to make them better.
