Switch from Code Snippets without breaking a thing.
Code Snippets is the long-time favourite for PHP snippets. Switch and you get CSS and JavaScript snippets, conditions and WP-CLI in the free version, plus a test load every time a snippet goes live.
Every importer is in the free plugin.
What comes across from Code Snippets (free and Pro)
And your old [code_snippet] shortcodes keep working, even after you delete the old plugin.
- PHP snippets that run everywhere, in the admin, on the front end, or once
- HTML snippets in the header, body or footer, and as shortcodes
- CSS and JavaScript snippets from Code Snippets Pro
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.
-
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 / Code Snippets" 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 Code Snippets until you've looked at it. Snipfire never guesses silently.
-
Switch over
One click turns each snippet off in Code Snippets 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.
Or from the command line.
Handy when you're moving many client sites.

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