WordPress code snippet plugin with syntax highlighting for 20+ languages

Sarah Chen Sarah Chen 4 months ago

We run a developer community and want members to post and share code snippets with proper syntax highlighting. Most plugins either support only a few languages or render code as plain text. Is there a WordPress plugin that handles JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, SQL, PHP, Ruby, and everything in between without external services?

SnipShare supports 20+ languages out of the box via Prism.js for view mode and CodeMirror 6 for edit mode. Every paste auto-detects or lets the author pick a language, and pastes can have multiple files each with its own language — like GitHub Gists. Highlighting is server-rendered so it works with or without JavaScript enabled on the viewer side, which matters for SEO and accessibility. No external API or third-party service needed; everything runs on your WordPress install.
