You build things (we call them Pens) with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and the languages and libraries that go along with those. Any Pen can be embedded on another site, making them useful for blog posts, documentation, forums, etc. This block makes it easy to embed them. While oEmbed (just paste in a Pen URL!) also works for CodePen embeds in the block editor, this plugin allows for much more control, like setting the the height, theme, and default tabs. ## Screenshots * [[ * Adding a CodePen Embed block. * [[ * The block with all the options. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * CodePen Embed Embeds CodePen pens ## Installation Install from the WordPress Plugin Directory. ## FAQ ### Why is this useful? It’s helpful for embedding Pens you build (or others have built) on CodePen on your own WordPress site. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d1a79b946f31874fa60f2b234b9ac8add41a2049281523e8a96698354406f8e6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super for custom code embeds](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-for-custom-code-embeds/)󠁿 [Deniss](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cms24/) May 4, 2022 Good module for custom code embeds from CodePen. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3d03ea1bfb9ecee0ee6ec90857c2e62be4dbc83d9e2f9e1ee24618e9dde6a3bb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great tutorial tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-tutorial-tool/)󠁿 [Georgi Popov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/magadanski_uchen/) January 20, 2022 I write web development tutorials in my blog and have tried many syntax highlighter options for code snippets in the past.
