The “Light Code Block” plugin is a simple and lightweight solution for inserting and displaying code snippets in posts and pages.
It works by adding a custom “LC” button to the TinyMCE (Classic) editor or a code block in the Gutenberg editor.

The inserted code will be shown on the front end in a clean, readable format.

Usage

  • Install and activate the plugin.
  • Go to the post or page edit screen.
  • In the TinyMCE (Classic) editor, click the “LC” button in the toolbar.
  • In the popup window that opens, paste or write your code, and click OK.
  • Save or update your post.

The code will be saved inside a special block and displayed on the front end within a

 tag with the class mce-simple-code-block (i.e., 
...
).

To insert code using the Gutenberg editor, you first need to add a Classic (TinyMCE) block, and then use it to insert your code.
