A text message to go with the red highlighting was added in the recent version to make it more obvious and clear that there is an issue.

Currently, the maximum snippets is based on the server configuration. The number of items a post request allows to contain according to the php configuration. So one can tweak that value if required. I remember that the common default setting of PHP would allow somewhere around 300 snippets.

This limit will be lifted to allow unlimited snippets when the storage engine is updated in the plugin.

Hi,

That’s the nature of PHP, the PHP snippet gets evaluated in it’s own scope, and does not have access to variables outside the scope.

As a workaround, what you can do is this, make the variables you need to access from a snippet to a global variable. Ie, for instance if you want to assign a value to a variable in your template, make it a global variable, like this:

$GLOBALS['foo'] = 'bar';

Then to access the variable in a PHP snippet, you have two options, either

global $foo;
echo $foo;

or

echo $GLOBALS['foo'];

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. A few other frontend plugins has seen similar behaviour. A fix is implemented that shall take care of this, and the updated version will be released very shortly.

Michael,

Thanks for your report. I’ve tried it and I can confirm the conflict you are seeing. The issue has been fixed, and an updated version of the plugin will be out very soon.

Cheers,

Hi,

I tried the snippet with ACF and it shows no problem. My guess is that there is some other plugin interfering. You could try to disable all plugins and only enable Post Snippets and ACF and see if that works. Maybe also use the default theme at first. And then start reenabling plugins until finding out which one is preventing it to work.

LasPalmas:

Yes, if you select the snippet to be a shortcode, and insert it as a shortcode, the output on the page will update if you update the snippet.

Johan

Marie: Thanks, but no. Check with the theme author, as this seems to be a problem with the theme.

Cheers,
Johan
