Snippets

Updated

Overview

Snippets live under Manifest → Snippets. Each one uses a locked Snippet Page block. Place published snippets on pages with Snippet or Snippet Collection.

Snippets can have a parent under Page Attributes, but that is only for organizing them in the admin. The site does not add a document-style sidebar, trail, or previous/next links.

See Usage → Snippets for create-and-place steps.

WordPress features

  • Supports: title, editor, featured image, excerpt, revisions, page attributes
  • Archive: none
  • Public URL: yes — /snippets/{name}/
  • Editor: locked Snippet Page block (you can add blocks; you cannot remove the Snippet Page wrapper)
  • Featured Video: MP4 file in the side panel; the snippet page prefers it over the featured image (the image can still be the video poster)

Tips

  • Put the visitor-facing name in the title and a one-line summary in the excerpt.
  • Place snippets on normal pages rather than linking to /snippets/, unless you want one to stand alone.
  • A custom title, excerpt, or image on the Snippet block changes that one placement only.
