I realize that instead of coding from the ground up using straight code. I can make 90% then code elements to work with database and other things. Thanks for this video. 👍

So I tried both plugins and both failed to load my script. The header and footer plugin is cool but I get errors for using '<' in my functions. I get an error inside the editor saying 'Special characters must be escaped : [ < ]' Not sure what this means but it seems like it's reading as HTML. The Javascrip/Css plugin is awesome and I use it a ton for my CSS. For some odd reason the plugin wraps javascript in it's own script tags and the browser gives an error that the script tag isn't closed... there is no way to remove these?
