Alternative to SNIPLETS…
Sniplets was a great plugin while it lasted. Here is what I am using as a work-around to give similar functionality of blocks of mixed html and php. First install the “Allow PHP in posts and pages” plugin. Then install “dcoda boilerplate” plugin. use the “plates” the way you would have used sniplets, and if you need to embed snippets of php in the code of your “plates,” surround them with the before and after shortcodes: [php] and [/php]. The php appears to execute on the page or post that calls the boilerplate. So far all my sniplets-reconstructed-as-boilerplates work fine.
