Author
Write snippets at the speed of thought
- Describe what you want and let the AI assistant write it. It’ll also explain and improve code you already have.
- One-click generators scaffold redirects, custom post types, header/footer scripts and more.
- A real editor with syntax highlighting, plus server-compiled SCSS.
Target
Run snippets exactly where you mean to
- Run-when conditions gate execution by URL, user role, login state and request type.
- Schedule a snippet to run once, or on a recurring interval, independently of page loads.
- Pick any scope, or fire on any WordPress hook at any priority.
Safety
Ship PHP without the panic
- A static scanner flags risky code before you enable it, and can block high-severity snippets.
- Safe mode disables a snippet that fatals, so a bad save never takes your site down.
- Every change is kept: diff any two revisions and restore in one click.

Why SnipCraft
Safe to run on a live production site
Security-first
A static scanner flags risky code before you turn it on. Safe mode catches fatal errors, PHP editing sits behind its own permission, and there’s a wp-config kill switch when you need it.
Privacy-aware
Pixels only fire once a visitor consents. Nothing phones home by default, and the tracking controls are built with GDPR in mind.
No lock-in
Your snippets are yours. Export them, sync them to a Git repo, or keep them in plain, standard formats. Nothing’s locked inside the plugin.
Genuinely free
The free edition is a real product you download and host yourself. It’s not a trial that expires or a demo with the good parts stripped out.
Built by WPDreams
We’ve shipped WordPress plugins for over ten years, including Ajax Search Pro. We know what’s at stake when code runs on someone’s live site.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is SnipCraft free?
Yes. SnipCraft has a genuinely free edition: PHP, CSS, JS and HTML snippets, modules, safe mode, and the free cloud library. SnipCraft Pro adds AI, scheduling, advanced targeting, the full cloud platform and more.
Is it safe to run PHP snippets?
SnipCraft scans snippets for risky code before you enable them, gates PHP editing behind a separate capability, and ships a wp-config kill switch. High-severity findings can be blocked from activation outright.
Will a broken snippet take down my site?
No. Safe mode catches fatal errors and automatically disables the offending snippet, so your site stays up. Every save is also kept as a revision you can diff and restore.
Does it work with my theme and page builder?
Yes. Snippets run on standard WordPress hooks, and a Gutenberg block drops any snippet into a post or page. Run-when conditions and scopes control exactly where your code runs.
How is SnipCraft Pro different from the free plugin?
The free plugin covers everyday snippet management. Pro adds the AI assistant, SCSS, scheduling, advanced conditions, asset optimization, role-based access, pixels & consent, multisite, and the full cloud platform.
Do I need SnipCraft Cloud?
No. The plugin is fully functional on its own. Cloud is optional and adds a shared library, cross-site sync, teams, and fleet health for anyone managing more than one site.
