WebberZone Code Block Highlighting is the easiest way to add syntax highlighting to your WordPress site. It extends the native Gutenberg core/code block with Prism.js highlighting — no shortcodes, no block replacement, no risk of breaking existing posts.

Simply activate the plugin and your code blocks will instantly display beautiful, readable syntax highlighting on the frontend. Choose from 35+ programming languages and 21 colour themes, all controlled from the block editor’s Inspector Controls sidebar.

Why use this plugin?

  • Safe by design — Works as a filter on top of core/code. Existing posts are never invalidated. Deactivate the plugin and your blocks are still valid standard WordPress code blocks.
  • Zero configuration — Activate and start writing. No setup wizard, no shortcodes.
  • Smart asset loading — Prism CSS and JS only load on pages that actually contain code blocks. Pages without code stay fast.
  • Per-block controls — Set language, theme, line numbers, word wrap, title, highlighted lines, and max height individually for each block.
  • Developer-friendly — Filters to add languages, override themes, and force asset loading.

Supported languages

40 languages including: Apache Config, Bash, C, C++, C#, CSS, Dart, Docker, F#, Go, GraphQL, Groovy, Haskell, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Kotlin, Lua, Markdown, Nginx, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, PowerShell, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Sass, Scala, SQL, Swift, TOML, TSX, TypeScript, Vim, XML, YAML. Use the wzcbh_languages filter to add or remove entries from the language picker.

Included themes (21)

A11y Dark, Coldark Cold (Light), Coldark Dark, Dracula, Duotone Dark, Duotone Light, GitHub (Light), Gruvbox Dark, Gruvbox Light, Lucario, Material Dark, Material Light, Night Owl, Nord, One Dark, One Light, Shades of Purple, Solarized Dark, Synthwave ’84, VS Code Dark+, Xonokai (Monokai).

  • Line numbers — Toggle line numbers per block, with a configurable start line.
  • File title / label — Add an optional filename or label displayed in the code block toolbar.
  • Highlight lines — Specify lines or ranges (e.g. 1,3-5) to visually highlight using Prism’s line-highlight plugin.

  3. Click Install Now, then Activate.

FAQ

Does this plugin replace the core Code block?

No. WebberZone Code Block Highlighting uses JavaScript and PHP filters to extend the native core/code block. It never swaps the block for a custom one, so existing posts are never invalidated and the plugin can be deactivated without leaving behind broken blocks.

Will my code blocks break if I deactivate the plugin?

No. Because the plugin extends core/code rather than replacing it, deactivating simply removes the highlighting. Your code content is stored in standard WordPress block markup and remains valid.

Which programming languages are supported?

40 languages out of the box: Apache Config, Bash, C, C++, C#, CSS, Dart, Docker, F#, Go, GraphQL, Groovy, Haskell, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Kotlin, Lua, Markdown, Nginx, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, PowerShell, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Sass, Scala, SQL, Swift, TOML, TSX, TypeScript, Vim, XML, and YAML.

Use the wzcbh_languages filter to add or remove entries from the language picker. Note: adding a language to the filter only affects the UI dropdown — the corresponding Prism.js grammar must also be available on the frontend (either bundled in frontend.js or loaded separately).

How do I add a custom or additional Prism theme?

  1. Add the theme mapping in build-prism.js.
  2. Copy the generated CSS to includes/assets/.
  3. Register the slug in includes/admin/class-settings.php.
  4. Run npm run build:prism.

You can also use the wzcbh_color_scheme_css_url filter to point to any CSS file without touching the plugin source.

Does Prism.js load on every page?

No. Prism CSS and JS are only enqueued on pages that contain at least one code block. All other pages are unaffected. Use the wzcbh_force_load_assets filter to override this behaviour if needed.

How do I highlight specific lines in a code block?

Enter a comma-separated list of lines or ranges in the Highlight Lines field in the Inspector Controls sidebar (e.g. 1,3-5,8). This maps to the data-line attribute consumed by the Prism line-highlight plugin.

Can I show a filename or label on the code block?

Yes. Use the Title field in the Inspector Controls sidebar. The label is displayed in the Prism toolbar above the code block.

Does the plugin support dark mode or multiple themes?

The plugin ships with 21 Prism themes. The active theme is selected globally on the settings page (Settings > Code Block Highlighting). Per-block theme switching is not currently supported.

Is this plugin compatible with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. The plugin is built specifically for the Gutenberg block editor (WordPress 6.6+) and uses the native block filter APIs. It does not support the Classic Editor.

How can I report security vulnerabilities?

Report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will validate, triage, and handle any reported vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.
