CS2FS Converter

Description

Moving from Code Snippets to Fluent Snippets? This plugin copies your snippets across, puts each one in the right place, and tells you which ones need a look before you switch them on.

It started as a Python script of mine. This is the same idea, inside WordPress.

How it works

1. Go to Tools > CS2FS Converter. You’ll see all your snippets, what each one becomes in Fluent Snippets, and any notes.
2. Untick the ones you don’t want and click Generate. You get a JSON file to keep as a backup.
3. Open Fluent Snippets and click « Import local ». Done.

Everything arrives as a draft, so nothing runs twice while Code Snippets is still active. When you’re ready, deactivate Code Snippets and publish the snippets you need.

What carries over

• The code, name, description, tags and priority.
• The right type and location for every kind of snippet: PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML for the head, body or footer.
• Which snippets were active, so you know what to publish.

What needs a look

The converter flags these, both on the list and after the import:

• Snippets with a condition (Code Snippets 4). Fluent Snippets has its own conditions, so set them up again there.
• Single-use snippets. Fluent Snippets has no « run once », so a published one runs on every page load.
• Content snippets. Pages using [code_snippet] need the Fluent Snippets shortcode instead.

Snippets in the trash are left out.

Once you’ve moved everything, delete this plugin. You only need it once.

Where each snippet goes

• Run everywhere: PHP, everywhere
• Only run in the admin: PHP, admin only
• Only run on the site front-end: PHP, everywhere, with a check that stops it in the admin
• Only run once: PHP, everywhere (flagged)
• Content (shortcode): PHP + HTML, shortcode (flagged)
• Head, body and footer content: PHP + HTML in wp_head, wp_body_open or wp_footer
• Admin and site CSS: CSS in admin_head or wp_head
• Head and footer JavaScript: JS in wp_head or wp_footer

You can still change the type of any snippet on the list before exporting.
