About Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block

From the official readme · v1.0.0

Description

Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block adds inspector controls to the WordPress core Code block:

  • Language select with Prism.js highlighting in the editor and on the frontend
  • Optional line numbers
  • Tab key indents inside the block (Shift+Tab outdents); optional spaces instead of tabs
  • Configurable tab size (2 / 4 / 8)
  • Optional copy button before or after the code block, aligned left / center / right (or hidden)

No separate block type — authors keep using the standard Code block.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/zeddotes-enhanced-code-block (or this directory name).
  2. Run npm install and npm run build if build/ is not present.
  3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
  4. Insert a Code block and open the Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block panel in the sidebar.

Frequently asked questions
