Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Coywolf Code Block Enhancer
Bash/Shell, CSS, HTML/Markup, JavaScript, JSON, PHP, Python, SQL, and YAML. The dropdown also includes "None (plain text)" to render a block without highlighting.
Open Tools → Code Blocks → Language packs and enable the pack that contains the language you need. The baseline 9 languages are always available; the other 40 grammars are grouped into packs you can toggle on. Anything you enable shows up in the Code block's "Code language" dropdown automatically — no code editing required.
No. The language is stored as a block attribute, not baked into the saved markup, so blocks without a language stay valid and the front-end language class is applied at render time. Existing content is not migrated and is unaffected.
No. The token CSS only enqueues on singular posts/pages where has_block( 'core/code' ) is true, and the Prism scripts are only enqueued from inside the render_block filter for core/code — so a page with no code block ships none of these assets. Prism is also loaded with the defer strategy so it never blocks rendering.
Nothing extra. Prism and the copy-button script are bundled with the plugin and served from your own origin, so a script-src 'self' policy
Go to Tools → Code Blocks in WP Admin. The "Code block theme" dropdown lists every bundled theme in three groups: Coywolf (Default — Auto / Always light / Always dark), Prism (built-in), and Prism Themes (community). Below the dropdown a live preview pane re-renders a sample PHP snippet in the highlighted theme on every change — your site keeps the previously saved theme until you click Save Changes. The selected theme's stylesheet is enqueued only on posts that contain a code block; only one theme file is ever loaded per request.
If you're on the bundled Default — Auto theme (the first-install default), switch to Default — Always light or Default — Always dark in Tools → Code Blocks. Picking any of the Prism themes also locks the appearance — those themes are static and don't react to OS dark mode. The lock is implemented in CSS — there is no inline <style> injected per request — so it composes cleanly with caching plugins.
The 8 stock themes are bundled from PrismJS/prism at v1.30.0 (MIT — see assets/themes/LICENSE-prism.txt). The 37 community themes are bundled from PrismJS/prism-themes (MIT — see assets/themes/LICENSE-prism-themes.txt). They are served from your own origin alongside the rest of the plugin's assets — no external request at runtime.
The label only renders when a language is set (the CSS rule is .wp-block-code[data-language]::before). If the block was created before the plugin was installed, open it in the editor and pick a language from the sidebar so the language attribute is saved.
