  • Great way to do quick code blocks without digging into source files

    I've been using Code Widget for over a year on https://www.vrvoyaging.com and I love how easy it is to put PHP, HTML, or a shortcode into a page block without fussing with custom widgets. Highly recommended!

  • Extremely useful

    I switched from Drupal 7 to WordPress and this is exactly what I needed to spice up the widgets – in Drupal I used something similar for blocks.

  • No Idea how to work this

    There are NO instructions. There is NO place to create the code..... Useless.
