About Code Snippets Tags
From the official readme · v1.2.1Description
In Code Snippets version 2.0 or later, tags functionality is built in and this plugin is redundant
Adds support to the Code Snippets WordPress plugin for adding tags to snippets. Requires Code Snippets 1.8 or later.
You can assign tags to snippets using an interactive UI when editing or adding a new snippet. Then, you can filter snippets by tag on the snippets table, or see what tags are assigned to a particular snippet with a glance at the new table column. Tags are stored in your database and can be exported and imported along with the other snippet data.
