Frequently asked questions
What happens if my PHP snippet has an error?
New PHP snippets are checked for syntax before they save. If a snippet throws an error while running, the plugin catches it, turns the snippet off, and shows the message on the snippets list. Fix the code and turn the snippet back on.
A snippet locked me out of the admin. What now?
Add define('DPCS_SAFE_MODE', true); to your wp-config.php file. No snippet runs while safe mode is on, so you can reach the admin, turn off the snippet, and remove the line.
When do PHP snippets run?
PHP snippets run early, on the plugins_loaded hook. For code that depends on the theme or on WooCommerce, wrap it in an action such as init or wp so it runs at the right time.
Can I move snippets between sites?
Yes. Use Export on the Tools tab to download a JSON file, then Import on the other site. Imported snippets are turned off until you activate them.
