About WPPaste

WPPaste is two things that feed each other: a WordPress code reference, and a paste tool for sharing WordPress code.

The reference

Every reference page is generated by parsing WordPress source at its release tag. Nothing is scraped from another documentation site, which is why pages can carry things the official docs cannot: the hooks a function fires in execution order, the places core calls it, and a straight comparison of the symbol across every release covered here. How these pages are built sets out the method in full.

The paste tool

Pastes are syntax-highlighted, and every WordPress function, hook, class and method mentioned in one links to its reference page. Pastes can be run: a real WordPress boots in your browser on WebAssembly, so a snippet shared in a support channel is something the reader can execute and change rather than only read.

Who makes it

I build and maintain WPPaste on my own. It is independent, and is not affiliated with the WordPress project or the WordPress Foundation.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, get in touch and say which symbol and which release. The underlying data is regenerated per release, so a correction can be applied to every version that shares the same signature at once.
