feat(new): insert code at the start of the body tag by rami-elementor · Pull Request #391 · codesnippetspro/code-snippets

Currently the plugin supports 2 locations:

However, WordPress supports 3 locations:

WordPress location	Insert code to...	Code snippets support
wp_head()	Insert HTML/JS code to site header (to the `<head>` tag)	Supported
wp_body_open()	Insert HTML/JS code to site content (start of `<body>` tag)	Not supported (yet)
wp_footer()	Insert HTML/JS code to site footer (end of `<body>` tag)	Supported

This PR aims to add support for wp_body_open to code-snippets. To allow users the ability to insert code at the start of the <body> tag.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a third “site insertion” location by supporting WordPress’s wp_body_open hook so HTML snippets can be output at the start of the <body> tag.

Changes:

Added a new snippet scope/location for body-start insertion (body-content) and wired it to wp_body_open.
Extended scope lists/icons/names across PHP + TS so the new location is selectable and validated.
Updated Playwright E2E helpers/tests to cover the new body-start location.

How well supported is wp_body_open? My understanding is that it relies on the theme author to actually use the tag – can we be sure that it is now as widely-supported as wp_head and wp_footer? If not, do we need to include a check to ensure it's being used, and display a message/disable the feature if not.

Thank you @rami-elementor . I needed this for one of my tasks :D

@sheabunge All 3 functions relies on the theme author.

wp_head() introduced in WordPress 1.5.0
wp_footer() introduced in WordPress 1.5.1
wp_body_open() introduced in WordPress 5.2.0

WordPress 5.2.0 was released on May 2019, over 7 years ago.

I think that after 7 years it's safe to assume that this function is widely used.

The HTML half of this (body-content) integrates correctly with Flat_Files - the existing Content_Snippet_Handler writes any HTML scope to …/html/<id>.php, and Evaluate_Content is updated to read body-content back.

The JS half (site-body-js) does not. It's added to scope lists and the UI, but Evaluate_Assets (Pro) - both the DB-backed enqueue_frontend() and the flat-file enqueue_js_flat_files() - only handle site-head-js and site-footer-js. With file-based execution enabled, a site-body-js snippet will be written to …/js/<id>.js and then silently never enqueued. get_asset_url() and process_code() also need a third branch. Needs an extension of this PR in Pro to add a wp_body_open-driven enqueue path for site-body-js, plus a Playwright test.
