 * Hi,
 * My tech blog is running on WordPress with a stripped-down Hestia theme.
 * I’ve replaced the standard editor with the old classic editor.
 * I often include bits of code in my blog: shell code, configuration files, etc.
 * The inline code bits like commands or filenames are enclosed in (inline) code
   and /code brackets.
 * As for the longer listings, I usually use HTML’s pre and /pre.
 * For editing these, I have to switch to text source mode, since I have no buttons
   for code and pre. Which can get rather tedious if you have a longer article.
 * Q: is there any way to add buttons to the classic editor for code and pre ?
 * Thanks & cheers from the rainy South of France,
 * Niki
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fclassic-editor-buttons-for-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Are you using `classic editor` plugin?
 * If so, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/classic-editor/)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Given the number of views and replies, that section of the forum looks quite 
   dead.
