Switch from Header Footer Code Manager without breaking a thing.

Header Footer Code Manager is great for tracking scripts. Switch and those same scripts can wait for cookie consent (Pro), run only in testing mode first, and live alongside PHP and CSS snippets in one place.

Every importer is in the free plugin.

What comes across from Header Footer Code Manager

And your old [hfcm] shortcodes keep working, even after you delete the old plugin.

  • HTML, CSS and JavaScript snippets
  • Their locations
  • Page, post, category, tag and post type rules
  • Device rules

Anything Snipfire can't match exactly is marked "Check first" and left running where it is, so you decide.

How switching works.

Your site keeps working after every step.

  1. 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.

  2. Import

    Copies arrive switched off in an "Imported / Header Footer Code Manager" folder, with a note on anything that works differently. Nothing changes on your site yet.

  3. Check the few that need it

    Anything Snipfire can't match exactly is marked "Check first" and keeps running in Header Footer Code Manager until you've looked at it. Snipfire never guesses silently.

  4. Switch over

    One click turns each snippet off in Header Footer Code Manager and on in Snipfire, and test-loads your site in between. A snippet that fails is reported and left where it was.

  5. 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.

Or from the command line.

Handy when you're moving many client sites.

# See what would come across
$ wp snipfire import-from hfcm --dry-run

# Import and switch over
$ wp snipfire import-from hfcm --switch

Still deciding?

Look around the features, or try the free plugin on a staging site first.

Importing changes nothing until you switch over, and your old shortcodes keep working.
