Fantastic content. I'd say your channel pushed me to look into code more. I have no idea why I was avoiding code before but your channel gave me the comfort to be able to go under the hood for Wordpress and Plugins. Awesome Work!

Thank you for featuring our Plugin Code Snippets Paul, we we're really surprised. Ps. a Pro version is on it's way saving even more time and cost.

Amazing! Thank you for the great info-content you are creating, Paul!:)

That's pretty cool, Paul. I'll have to check out the other video on making your own plugin. Thanks, as usual!

[PascalParent]

Thanks, I learned something, I knew the 2 first techniques. But I never thought off the last one, good suggestion.

[gabedavis]

Your videos are super helpful. Thanks for making them.

You are great! I am working with an external API to synchronize Woo with our ERP and this helps me a lot. Thank you!

WOOT! Thanks, Paul. Excellent video, as always.
Just one comment...being old school, I've always been leery of editing a file directly inside of my cPanel. In the dialup days, if you lost the connection you could get hosed easily. I've always used Transmit (Mac), Coda2 (Mac) or Filezilla (PC) to download/upload a file & work with it locally. Basically the same reasoning for never working in the theme files directly.

You are so good at teaching this stuff. I learned a lot through your videos. Thank you! Greetings from Germany :)

Great video! I am still beginner when it comes to wordpress... Is it possible to change the html-code?

[yusupakmuhammedov]

I can't edit specific pages source code or don't know where to find it. Please help

[schoolofgrowthhacking]

Does the code snippets plugin only edit functions.php, or can it edit specific files in the theme as well?

godaddy cpanel text editor is very basic compared to my sublime text ide. is there a work around so i can see the colours of text etc like you can in siteground? thx

This just opened a doorway for me to endless possibilities, thanks.
I do need one extra little bit of help, that being the code needed to put into the plugin to do the following:
I'm using Astra theme (free basic) + woocommerce + NP Quote Request WooCommerce (to hide prices/cart & make RFQ list) + WooCommerce Custom Product Addons (Free) (to add product options and customer special instructions per product).
I'm trying to find a way to force the product attribute 'term description' to display when the attribute is selected on the front end, and remains visible when going to cart, etc.
I noticed below the term description it says "The description is not prominent by default; however, some themes may show it."
Is there a work around to make this able to be displayed after the attribute is selected?

Hi Paul, how to edit the copyright footer section in the front end?

[wgm]

I think code snippets is a good balance
