Thanks for upgrading! Many new features and improvements are available that you will enjoy.

PHP snippets (Insert php) Evolution to Woody ad snippets

If you are a long-term user of the Insert php 1.3.0 plugin, you may be confused about the new plugin’s name and branding. We will try to clear this out for you.

The way how WordPress editor handled PHP code from Insert php before was incorrect and unsafe. We wanted to find a solution that will be suitable for both old and new Insert php users. And we wanted to give them a useful tool to work with snippets (pieces of code) and plain text.

Storing PHP in individual snippets was a more elegant solution because only administrators were able to modify the snippets. The plugin evolution to a snippet format has solved several important problems:

- Security improvements. Snippets can be modified by administrators only. Your PHP code is not available to other users.
- No code duplication. You can use 1 snippet on 100 pages instead of copying the code to each one of them
- Edit snippet in one place. All changes will be applied to the snippet on all pages.
- You can place snippets automatically.
- The code editor highlights syntax of the snippet and checks PHP code for errors. Your website is safe now.

We considered all of the above when decided to update the Insert php plugin. Now our plugin supports not only a PHP code but HTML. JS, CSS code and text as well. Obviously, the name Php snippets (Insert php) no longer suited the plugin.

So we’ve created a new name – Woody ad snippets. We are hoping that the new name didn’t cause you any pain. We won’t change the plugin name anymore, as we’ve scheduled a solid roadmap of the plugin development and plan to stick to it!

Gutenberg Editor Support

Hello Gutenberg! Creating the content becomes more simple and easy. You can forget about shortcodes to locate snippet and switch to the user-friendly blocks instead. Just create a snippet with the location scope through the shortcode, go to Gutenberg Editor and add a new Woody ad snippet block. Super easy!

New Snippet types

PHP Snippets

This is a simple snippet type. It executes PHP code. Use this type to register functions, classes, and global variables. You can create false scenarios and use shortcodes to print them on pages.

Text Snippets

This is the easiest snippet type. Here you can use text and HTML code only. It works as a classic editor TinyMCE. Use this type to create text blocks, media content, links, quotes, and inserts. You can locate this snippet type automatically or via shortcodes.

Universal Snippets

This is a complex snippet type where you can combine PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. We’ve created this type to insert ad codes, external widgets, complex HTML forms, Google analytics, Facebook pixels and so on. You can locate these snippets automatically or by shortcodes.

Snippet Auto placement

This is a new feature. It will save you many hours of hard work. Now you can locate a snippet on all or certain pages in a few clicks.

We’ve added a new way of snippet placement. Just set up the location spot and placement condition. The plugin will automatically install the snippet on the necessary pages. You can also remove snippet in a few clicks.

Snippet Conditional Logic

With the new auto location options the conditional logic features have been released. They allow you to hide or show snippets depend on conditions. For example, you can show a snippet to registered users only. Or, show it just to mobile users. Conditional logic helps you to filter pages where the snippet shouldn’t be used.

Snippet Export/Import

Snippet Export/Import is more user-friendly now. You don’t need to install additional plugins anymore. Just export all the necessary plugins or import them on another website. Additional import features prevent snippet duplication in case your website has already had this snippet.
