Code Snippets vs WordPress Plugins Which Reigns Supreme?

So if I use snippet code I don’t need a childtheme anymore?

@Ferdy as usual great video, mate 😉
Just a word of caution: please do not become one of those Youtubers who brainlessly show snippets that do not really do what they are labelled as.
"Remove Unused Javascript"?
Check the code and ask for example ChatGPT, this snippet removes a specific part but never the unused javascript. The snippet does not and cannot (because that would be way to complex) remove only unused JS. By talking about it/including it you give partially wrong info to your viewers. Dont see this as criticism (as I know you generally do dilligent work and I have been watching your videos for a long time), simply double check the things you mention, especially code snipets that are not completely verified to do what they are meant to do 😉

I used the webp conversion code, but the conversion quality of the images is very low and looks bad. I'm aiming for 80% webp conversion quality, which I do in Photoshop, but the application code produces about 60% quality webp output. I've tried adding to the code to improve the quality, but the site throws a critical error.

is there a snippet to make all images in the library smaller in size (not dimension)

thank u

what is code snippets

Interesting video! Please be aware for socalled Backdoors. Especially users who have no programming skills can be vinctimised easily due to evt malicious code content. What I do miss in the informative video is the lack of security information: are the sites that provide snippets trushworthy/save? How do we know and what sites are save to install snippets from? Just thinking…

Thank you for this long and detailed video! 👍 I use code snippets in several situations too. What I was missing in your video is to mention the disadvantages of using code snippets: if you don't know a lot a bout coding and get in trouble with later updates of PHP or WP you are totally lost. But if you use the same functionallity form a plugin you generally will get an update soon or later.

Hallo Ferdy, De snippets werken muv de copy. Deze is greyed out. Wat kan de oorzaak zijn?

9:10 What was that all about, you almost caught me off-guard. You are naughty Ferdy. Regards South Africa

49:23 Well done Ferdy

18:10 Bookmark, more snippets codes

Is there risk of the PHP snippets not working anymore with future WordPress updates? I don't know PHP. So, if I use someone else's snippet, I wouldn't know how to revise it if needed.

Hello where are theses example you gave here on the video?

Where are the snippets on your site? They are no longer at the url you show.

Good

Wow, thank you so much! That was an incredibly detailed and amazing video. It really opened my eyes, and I'll definitely be utilizing this information.

Thanks! i need to build custom dashboard that fitches the data from my wp forms, and get updated automatically. ..
