We have collected a useful list of 10+ WordPress Code Snippets that we believe you will find really useful especially if you develop sites like we do. These snippets are added directly to a themes functions.php file in order to add additional functionality to your site.
It’s being more than decade for us now to use WordPress and within all these years we worked on number of WordPress projects. While working on all these projects, we have been able to build up a collection of little snippets and tricks that helps us from time to time.
All the snippets we’ve been adding have been tested with the WordPress 3.6 version. Based on all the experimentation’s we did, you will find the collection of WordPress Code Snippets, that we used for our WordPress projects.
