 * Hi there,
 * Is it possible to add a custom server side code section to the custom code area.
   
   This addition is essentially a replacement to adding code to functions.php of
   the theme I’m using.Why do i want this change if i can add the code in functions.
   php?Because I had a few functions that extend the sites functionality in functions.
   php and then someone updated the theme without knowing that and it caused the
   custom code to get wiped out.I could create a new empty plugin just for this 
   purpose so I thought since this plugin is for removing those extra plugins then
   it might be a good idea to check if something like this is possible.
 * sincerely,
 * mezo.

 * [@mezo111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mezo111/) thank you for the suggestion.
   PHP code snippet support is available in the Pro version of ASE: [https://www.wpase.com/features/code-snippets-manager/](https://www.wpase.com/features/code-snippets-manager/).
   I hope it’s something suitable for you.

 * p.s. additionally, if you’re using functions.php, I suppose you should put it
   in the child theme, so that when the parent theme is updated, the functions.php
   won’t get overwritten / deleted.
