If you’re a web developer or a programmer and have a programming blog set up in WordPress, you will find it difficult to include codes in the posts. There is no tool in the Visual Editor toolbar menu to automatically wrap a piece of code into a code block.

So you have to manually go to the Text version of the post and add the code in HTML <pre> or <code> tag or inside <pre><code></code></pre>. As you can see there are different ways to embed codes in your post. So, why not add a tool that satisfies this. I’m very happily introducing the Code Blocks Plugin, an easy plugin that adds a Code Block tool in the toolbox of Visual editor and Text editor.
