Description

Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/custom-functions-managerdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
- Go to Tools > Custom Functions to add your custom code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use eval()?
The plugin uses eval() to execute your custom code. Syntax errors or fatal errors in your code may cause issues. Always test your code on a staging site first.
Can I use this to add any PHP code?
Yes, but only code that would normally go in your theme's functions.php file. Do not use for code that should be in a plugin or that requires activation hooks.
