User sentiment analysis

User reviews highlight that the WordPress plugin is highly useful, particularly for non-coders who appreciate its simplicity and ease of use. It facilitates the addition and testing of code snippets without needing to modify core files like functions.php directly, thereby preventing issues during theme or plugin updates. The plugin also garners praise for its features such as cloud-sync, bundles, and Ajax saving, which streamline workflow and enhance productivity. However, several users reported severe issues following the latest updates, including site crashes and a random letter "q" appearing on pages, indicating potential flaws in the plugin's update process. Some users also noted a significant slow-down in website performance and a lack of timely support, which contributed to their frustration. Despite these drawbacks, many still find the plugin indispensable for managing code snippets efficiently.

Broke my website on production after update because shortcodes stopped working, the developers do not test their codes and that is the worst for a plugin to have. Since yesterday it is reported and today no update. This topic was modified 2 days, 4 hours ago by Nightw0lv.

This plugin is great for non-coders like me, as it allows me to manage my code snippets in an organized way without touching the PHP files directly, which reduces the risk of fatal errors on my site (if you’ve ever broken your site when editing the functions.php file, you know what I’m talking about!). The interface is intuitive, and the ability to activate/deactivate snippets is super helpful for testing new features and apply customizations. In short: If you work with code snippets regularly, this plugin is a must-have.

Overall, I’m happy with this plugin, but in the ~3 months that I’ve been using it I’ve encountered two super annoying problems. First, it does not support the latest CSS syntax. Media queries such as @media (max-width: 1024px) { } will produce error messages even though that syntax is perfectly valid. I also get false errors when I use syntax such as .some-class-name:has(.another-class-name) { } even though that too is perfectly valid. For a paid plugin, I expect full support for the latest syntax. Instead, I got a support person who initially told me I was doing it wrong and only later admitted that this tool simply doesn’t support the newest syntactical goodies. The other annoyance is that the company is extremely slow to fix known bugs. Shortly after I started using this tool, I lost the ability to add or edit tags. The company admits this is a bug and even sent me the GitHub issue where they were tracking the fix. However, it’s been 6 weeks since the bug was identified and over a month since the Github issue was closed and the fix still hasn’t been released to production. Even accounting for the holidays, this seems too long. So this plugin is fine, but don’t expect full support for the latest code syntax or fast turn around times if you encounter any defects.

No plugin is perfect. There was an issue with a recent update to the plugin. The issue was quickly fixed by the plugin developers. Kudos to the team.
