Title: Snippy errors with Gutenberg? Last modified: January 17, 2019 --- # Snippy errors with Gutenberg? * Resolved [paulmil11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmil11/) * (@paulmil11) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippy-errors-with-gutenberg/) * I believe there may be a compatibility issue with Snippy and the new gutenberg editor. Does anyone know if this has been flagged? In doing some digging, I found that snippy is appearing before the DOCTYPE tag on the html – here is the start of the source code: *

* * Over on github there appears to be a number of plugins that are appearing before the DOCTYPE tag and forcing the metaboxes (Yoast, likes, etc…) to block the “ blocks” in the gutenberg editor. * It works if I deactivate the plugin, but I would love to keep using this plugin instead of moving to a different one * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsnippy-errors-with-gutenberg%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Rik Schennink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pqina/) * (@pqina) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippy-errors-with-gutenberg/#post-11098724) * Hi! This is weird, I’ve tested it before claiming the plugin was compatible but didn’t find anything wrong then. * I’ll retest and see if I can find something. * Plugin Author [Rik Schennink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pqina/) * (@pqina) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippy-errors-with-gutenberg/#post-11098935) * I haven’t been able to reproduce this. * Can you give me some more information? Does this happen with all Snippy shortcodes? If you create a very simple shortcode (just text) does it show the same problem? Have you updated to the latest version?

The shortcode appears at the correct location on the page and nothing is rendered before the doctype. So, I can’t reproduce the issue on my test project. * If you’re willing to send a test Username, Password and URL to info[at]pqina. nl, I’m happy to take a look on your WordPress installation. * Thread Starter [paulmil11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmil11/) * (@paulmil11) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippy-errors-with-gutenberg/#post-11102615) * I sent you a login * Plugin Author [Rik Schennink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pqina/) * (@pqina) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippy-errors-with-gutenberg/#post-11103246) * Thanks!
