Learning how to display code in WordPress is crucial for bloggers and content creators who consistently publish code online for their readers to use. Computer code, by design, renders something new on the frontend of a website rather than the tags, slashes, and brackets you find within the actual code snippets.

This, however, poses a problem for those writing about development and design, since you need a way to properly display the code without it doing its real job, like creating a button or adding styling to a paragraph block.

Simply put, if you write a blog post and put a code snippet example in there, you’ll want to prevent the code from actually working! This way, readers can see the code in its raw form, view the code in a nicely formatted block, and even copy its contents to use in their development work.

In this guide, we’ll focus on how to display code in WordPress using the Gutenberg block.
