Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Code Snippets

Use Code Snippets Safe Mode to prevent snippet execution while you investigate the problem. Follow the Safe Mode instructions for the appropriate recovery method, then fix or deactivate the affected snippet.
Snippets are stored separately from your theme in the WordPress database, so changing theme or updating WordPress does not remove them. Code that depends on a particular theme or plugin may still need updating when that dependency changes.
Enable Complete Uninstall under Snippets > Settings > Advanced before deleting the plugin through WordPress's Plugins screen if you want stored snippets and plugin settings removed. Export snippets you want to keep first. Leave Complete Uninstall disabled if you want to retain your snippet data when deleting the plugin.
Yes. Export a single snippet or select several snippets and use the export bulk action. Import the resulting file through the Snippets import screen on the other site.
Yes. Select the PHP snippets, choose Export to PHP from the bulk actions and apply it. The generated file contains the exported code, with snippet names and descriptions in comments. Review the file before including it in a theme or plugin.
Yes. Network activation provides a network-level Snippets screen. Activate a network snippet to run it across the network, subject to its execution scope. Individual sites can also have separate snippets, and shared network snippets can be enabled per site where configured.
Local snippets use the site's table prefix followed by snippets, for example wp_snippets on a single site or wp_2_snippets on a subsite. Network snippets use the network's base prefix followed by ms_snippets, for example wp_ms_snippets. Your actual prefix may differ.
