Breaks Site, can’t deactivate Snippet

This plugin gives you the freedom to create your own snippets, but unfortunately this means that the responsibility for not writing bad code that breaks your site is on you.

We include a safe mode feature to make it easy to recover from issues like this without needing to uninstall the plugin. You can read more about it here: https://help.codesnippets.pro/articles/12-safe-mode

I’d definitely recommend exploring the existing resources for solutions like these or asking a question in the support forum when you encounter issues in the future, instead of jumping straight to the review section.

Apologies, I posted the wrong URL. The correct link is https://help.codesnippets.pro/article/12-safe-mode

Actually, the code I was using when the site broke was valid:

<?php if( get_field('subtext') ): ?>
<p><?php the_field('subtext'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

So I’m not sure how this simple piece would’ve caused the site to break.

My wild guess: it broke because of the PHP tags. You are not working in a HTML editor here that would demand the tags. You do work in a PHP editor and especially the closing PHP tag cuts off further PHP code outside your snippet which easily breaks sites.
Please take a first attempt at omitting PHP tags and report back the result.

As a starter:

$subtext = get_field( ‘subtext’ );
if ( $subtext ) {
$response = ‘<p>’ . esc_html( $subtext ) . ‘<p>’;
echo $response; // output the HTML
}

Nothing more. No PHP open / close tags in code snippet editor to be added by you.

Thank you, @roaddoc.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the situtation when I attempted to use it.

Hm, I don’t remember Code Snippet to work otherwise ever and I’ve used it for years now. Anyhow, if the problem is solved whatever way then I guess this thread can be closed.
