 * Hi, [@octoaquatics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octoaquatics/) 👋
 * You should be able to remove the snippet using Code Snippets Safe Mode.
 * It pauses all snippets temporarily, allowing you to access the plugin settings
   and deactivate or delete the problematic snippet.
 * Add this line to `wp-config.php`, just before the “That’s all, stop editing!”
   line:
 * `define( 'CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE', true );`
 * After removing or deactivating the problematic snippet, remove that line from`
   wp-config.php`.
 * Full instructions are available here:
