Switch in two clicks. Keep every snippet and every shortcode.
Moving from another snippet plugin shouldn't mean copying code by hand or a weekend of broken pages. Snipfire imports your snippets, checks them, and switches them over one site-safe step at a time. Every importer is in the free plugin.
Pick the plugin you're using now.

How switching works.
The same five steps for every plugin, and your site keeps working after each one.
We tested every importer against the real plugins: the site's output was identical before importing, after switching over, and after the old plugins were switched off.
-
Install the free plugin
Snipfire notices snippets from other plugins and offers to import them. Your old plugin doesn't even need to be active: Snipfire reads its data directly.
-
Import
Copies arrive switched off in an "Imported" folder, with a note on anything that works differently. Nothing changes on your site yet.
-
Check the few that need it
Anything Snipfire can't match exactly is marked "Check first" and keeps running in your old plugin until you've looked at it. Snipfire never guesses silently.
-
Switch over
One click turns each snippet off in your old plugin and on in Snipfire, and test-loads your site in between. A snippet that fails is reported and left where it was.
-
Remove the old plugin when you're ready
Old shortcodes like [wpcode], [code_snippet], [fluent_snippet] and [hfcm] keep working, even after the old plugin is gone.
Switching fifty sites?
Do it from the command line. See what would come across first, then import and switch over in one go.
# Which plugins have snippets on this site?
$ wp snipfire import-from
# Look before you leap
$ wp snipfire import-from wpcode --dry-run
# Import and switch over
$ wp snipfire import-from wpcode --switch
Sources: wpcode, code-snippets, fluent-snippets, hfcm, custom-css-js, customizer-css and wpcodebox.
Move your snippets over this afternoon.
Importing changes nothing until you switch over, and your old shortcodes keep working.
