For my ACF Pro projects that use meta boxes, I use FSE themes just because it is so much easier to create and edit custom templates for the project. However, Because FSE themes can only use blocks + HTML and CSS, this plugin is invaluable to me for some custom php coding. One suggestion that I have and I would love to see for extra security, is to have the option for this plugin's block to show up only in the templates, and not in posts, pages and CPTs. Of course I can only use TinyMCE and with ACF Pro disable the editor all together for the corresponding CPT, or simply remove the Post Content block from the appropriate templates, but having an option to limit this plugin to just the templates will be a more elegant solution. Nevertheless, this is a very important plugin for me.

disabled an important plugin function without warning. With that I lost my codes and now I'm having to guess what I did years ago. He says he's built in a code converter for the new model, but the crap just doesn't work. As a result, I ended up losing everything.

Just out of the blue stopped supporting the shortcode. No deprecation notice, just an update one day and poof gone! Not a professional way to develop something so many people rely on. Take a hint from all the other developers out there - my other software tells me years or even months in advance about the deprecation of a feature. Absolutely not cool.

How dare you just kill the classic editor? And not even a decent interim solution is offered, only a list of which pages no longer work. This is really terrible. Everyone who was happy about a great connection to Digistore or something similar is suddenly faced with a problem - OR DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ONE! Really, weak and with that, everything by this author died for me. PS: Over 1 million users use the classic editor. Shutting out a million users isn't a brilliant move.

Since version 3 this plugin stopped working with the classic editor and therefore it stopped working with several pagebuilders. The update was without any warnings. I changed to this one: insert-php-code-snippet
