Install the WPCode Plugin
-------------------------

If you are provided with a code snippet to provide a fix or add functionality the best way to apply the snippet is with [WPCode](https://wpcode.com/). This tutorial will cover how to apply a code snippet using WPCode for your EDD store.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the free [WPCode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/) plugin on your website. For more details, see this guide on [how to install a WordPress plugin](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/step-by-step-guide-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-for-beginners/).

Add Snippet
-----------

Upon activation, the plugin will add a new menu item labeled **Code Snippets** to your WordPress admin bar. Clicking on it will show you a list of all the custom code snippets you have saved on your site.

Since you just installed the plugin, your list will be empty.

Go ahead and click on the **Add New** button to add your first custom code snippet in WordPress.

Here you can choose a code snippet from the pre-made library or add your custom code.

To add custom code, click on the **Use snippet** button underneath the ‘Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet)’ option.
