The WordPress Snippet Generator is a searchable library of common WordPress code snippets for things developers look up often, like disabling comments, changing the excerpt length, registering a custom post type, or customizing the login page. Find a snippet by task, read what it does, and copy it. Everything runs in your browser.
How it works
- Search by task, or filter by category (Admin, Security, Performance, and more).
- Pick a snippet to see its description and where to add it.
- Copy the code and paste it into your child theme functions.php or a site plugin.
Features
- Dozens of practical snippets, grouped by category.
- Search by what you want to do, not by function name.
- Each snippet shows a plain-English description and where to place it.
- One-click copy.
- Runs client-side; nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I add these snippets?
Use a child theme's functions.php, or a small site-specific plugin so the code survives theme updates. A site plugin is the safer choice for anything you want to keep.
Will a snippet break my site?
A syntax error or a wrong snippet can. Always test on a staging copy first, keep a backup, and add one snippet at a time so you can tell which change caused an issue.
Do I include the opening PHP tag?
No. The snippets are written to paste into an existing functions.php, which already opens with <?php. Do not add a second opening tag.
Can I edit a snippet?
Yes. Treat each one as a starting point. Change text, conditions, and prefixes to match your site before you use it.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The library and search run entirely in your browser. Nothing you view or copy is sent to a server.
