• Hi,
    I tried this plugin on staging and it looked good so I installed it on an important site. Then when I added the code with a PHP syntax error the plugin crushed. On the snippet page, it showed a warning, that it had an error. So I fixed the error, but the warning stayed. Then looking into the menu, all snippets are gone!
    I had to reinstall all and again I made a mistake and the whole story repeated itself. Then I looked at how snippets are stored and as a WP developer, I see a big problem in it. Exactly what happened to me is prone to happen when you store just code on the disc with your own markup. Now, I understand we all want speed and this plugin is a HUGE improvement against the most used ones, but I would argue that not for any cost. I just cannot trust this plugin. What I would suggest is to store code in DB but when activated or saved, write to disc and add require. This way you avoid DB overhead and keep it easily accessible for menu and editing.
    Unless they redo fundamentally how snippets are stored, I give it a pass on any important sites.
