## Description

Experience unmatched speed and security with a unique file-based code snippet plugin,
designed for security & speed

FluentSnippets is the **Most Secure and Performance-Focused** Code Snippet Plugin
for WordPress. FluentSnippets store your snippets in flat files, so it does not 
run SQL queries for your snippets. It is the **Fastest Code Snippet Plugin** for
WordPress.
 Our mission is to streamline the process of integrating custom code 
snippets in WordPress, making it safe, secure, fast, and hassle-free.

### Why FluentSnippets?

FluentSnippets stores the code snippets in the flat file and uses code blocks in
each snippet file to add metadata like a description, title, conditional logic, 
snippet type, and other things. We also parse these data once and cache these into
index.php so we don’t have to parse these code blocks in every request. Then on 
runtime, it just includes those files to your selected action hook. In the whole
process, FluentSnippets runs 0 database queries. In fact, we don’t have any Database
query in the whole plugin runtime.
 With this native design, FluentSnippets is native,
secure by design, and the most performant code snippets in this category.

### Features

 * **File-based Snippets:** Your snippets are safely saved in your file system and
   load natively with zero database queries, so it’s safe, secure, and ultra-fast.
 * **Custom Code Snippets:** Write your custom code snippets including PHP, JS, 
   CSS, HTML, and more. Categorize your snippets with groups, tags, etc
 * **Advanced Conditional Logic:** Execute code snippets solely under specified 
   conditions like post type, date, URL, user type, and many more.
 * **Automatic Error Handling:** The automatic error hander prevents common errors
   when adding custom snippets to ensure they never break your site.
 * **Custom Shortcode:** With custom shortcode of your snippets, you can create 
   custom dynamic content blocks and use them across your site and manage them.
 * **Stand-alone Mode:** The most interesting feature is the Stand-alone Mode. With
   this feature, you can add your snippets, activate the standalone mode, and then
   you can uninstall and delete the plugin and your snippets will still run via 
   mu-plugins architecture and when you reactivate the plugin you can manage your
   snippets as before.

### Powerful Smart Conditional Logics

We have added smart conditional logic to let you choose precisely where you want
to execute your code. These conditional logics include

 * User’s Login State or Role
 * Type of Pages
 * Post Types
 * Taxonomy or Term-Based Rule
 * By Page / Post URL
 * Target Specific Page / Post / CPT
 * Date Based Conditions
 * FluentCRM Tag / Lists based rule of the current contact

These conditions are grouped-based, which means you can add multiple groups with
a set of conditions and if any of the group match the condions it will execute the
snippet.

### Snippet Types

FluentSnippets has four types of snippets. You can choose the snippet type from 
the snippet type selection.

**Functions – PHP Snippet:** This snippet is for all the PHP code that you need 
to execute in specific areas like you would write in your theme’s functions.php 
file.
 You can use this snippet type to create functions/classes, hook into other
actions and filters, and more.

**Content – PHP + HTML Snippet Type:** This snippet type is used to insert content
to different places like header, footer, after-post content, before-post content,
etc. You can write php / html / js / css code in this snippet type.

**CSS Snippet Type:** You can use this snippet type to add custom CSS to your site.

**JS Snippet Type:** You can use this snippet type to add custom JS to your site.

### Internal Design of FluentSnippets Plugin

The design is super simple and this is what it should be! FluentSnippets stores 
the code snippets in the flat file and uses code blocks in each snippet file to 
add metadata like a description, title, conditional logic, snippet type, and other
things. We also parse these data once and cache these into index.php so we don’t
have to parse these code blocks in every request. Then on runtime, it just includes
those files to your selected action hook. In the whole process, FluentSnippets runs
0 database queries. In fact, we don’t have any Database query in the whole plugin
runtime.
 With this native design, FluentSnippets is native, secure by design, and
the most performant code snippets in this category.

### Popular use cases of this Code Snippet plugin

 * Adding custom PHP Code to extend functionalities
 * Adding Header and footer codes (Google Analytics / Pixel / Ads codes)
 * Custom CSS for specific post/page types
 * Custom Javascript codes
 * Dynamic Content to different types of places like before/after post content or
   footer

## FAQ

### What are the differences between FluentSnippets & other code snippets plugins?

The primary difference is that FluentSnippets is built for speed, security, and 
ease of use. All other Code Snippet plugins store all the snippets in Database tables
so in every WordPress request, they do extensive DB queries to execute them. The
method is very slow and dangerous for site security. The snippets can be modified
or exploited via SQL injection caused by other plugins.

FluentSnippets solves this very specific problem by storing all the snippets in 
a flat file and loading the snippets just like any of the feature plugins. So it’s
a fast, secure, and native solution for all of your custom code snippets.

### What is the primary function of FluentSnippets and how can it benefit my website?

The primary function of the FluentSnippets plugin is to allow you to add custom 
code snippets to your WordPress site easily and without editing your theme’s or 
child theme’s files directly.

It provides a user-friendly interface to add, manage, and execute custom PHP, HTML,
JavaScript, or CSS snippets on your website. This is particularly beneficial as 
it ensures the sustainability of your code – your custom changes won’t disappear
after a theme update.

Whether you need to add a simple CSS tweak, embed custom HTML in the header or footer,
or run a complex PHP script, FluentSnippets can handle it, saving you time and making
the process safer and more efficient.

### Is it required to have coding knowledge to use this plugin?

While having some basic coding knowledge can certainly be beneficial when using 
this plugin, it’s not absolutely necessary. FluentSnippets is designed to be user-
friendly and accessible to a wide range of users.

The purpose is to simplify the process of adding custom code to your website. This
means you can easily insert custom PHP, JavaScript, HTML, or CSS into your site 
without editing your theme’s files directly, which can be complex and risky for 
beginners.

### Will FluentSnippets slow down my site?

Absolutely not. Unlike other code snippets plugin, FluentSnippets does not use the
database to store your custom snippets, it uses flat file-based storing method to
store your snippets securely and execute those by loading from the file system which
is extremely fast & native. In fact, FluentSnippets does not store or query the 
database at all.

I reached out to AzonPress for assistance in rearranging the default tab on custom
product template and Sujoy kindly provided me with the link to FluentSnippet plugin.
As a non-coder, this proved invaluable and as a bonus, very easy to navigate with
basic instructions. Happy AzonPress user!!
