I’ve been using this since 2012 and it is beautiful. However, it hasn’t been updated
in a while and now throws PHP errors. I’m giving 5 stars because it served its purpose
for me for so many years and I’m grateful for that

This was a best plug in, but now not anymore. Not working on latest WordPress. Use
Urvanov Syntax Highlighter instead.

DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN anymore, it will cause your posts’ content to stop displaying
from the first tag onwards. If you have it, remove it now.

Sadly this awesome, fully featured plugin does not work on the latest versions of
WordPress.
