Managing WordPress multisites with Code Snippets hasn’t always been smooth sailing — especially when it comes to sharing snippets across a network. This beta release changes that. With version 3.9.0-beta.2, we’ve tackled long-standing issues and built a stronger foundation for what’s ahead.
Facing the Issue Head-On
We know it. You know it. Network snippet sharing has been clunky for far too long. Functionality didn’t always behave as expected, the interface caused confusion, and admins were left with limited control. This release is our way of saying: enough’s enough — it’s time to fix it right.
What’s Fixed and Improved
This isn’t a shiny new feature drop. It’s a deep, practical cleanup — plus some thoughtful upgrades to make managing snippets across networks finally feel right.
- 🔍 New Network Filter: Focus only on network-shared snippets with a dedicated filter in the all-snippets view.
- 🏷️ Clear Visual Cues: Network snippets now show unique icons and badges for instant recognition.
- ⚖️ Better Subsite Control: Subsite admins can enable or disable shared snippets and manage their own local ones — no more waiting on a super admin.
- 🛠️ Reliable Core Functionality: Fixed major bugs in snippet sharing, status updates, and permission handling.
Smarter Permissions, Smoother Workflow
Permissions got a full rethink to make multisite management more intuitive and balanced:
- 👥 Empowered Subsite Admins: They can decide which shared snippets run on their site — safely and independently.
- 🔐 Clear Access Boundaries: Network-level actions stay with network admins; local management stays local.
- 🎯 Streamlined Interfaces: Each user only sees what’s relevant to them, reducing clutter and confusion.
Laying the Groundwork for What’s Next
This release isn’t just a fix — it’s preparation. These improvements pave the way for one of the most requested features yet: individual cloud connections per subsite. Soon, each subsite will be able to connect its own Code Snippets Cloud account, making distributed management easier, cleaner, and far more flexible.
“Good fixes don’t just solve problems — they create possibilities.”
