 * I am confused.
 * I am trying to show code in my blogs. So I installed your plug in. I start a 
   new post. I click “Screen Options” and tick the “Custom fields”.
 * I add a new custom field “CODEXYZ” and put some code/HTML in the value.
 * I use %CODEXYZ% in my post and click preview. Just shows some of the text. 🙁
   I find it all to hard still. All I want is to embed code. What am I doing wrong?

 * Hi [@ajtruckle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajtruckle/),
 * Can you give me a URL of a post or page where you’ve tried it and it’s not working?

 * Sorry to hear that Andrew. It does work (honest!) so if you ever want to revisit
   it, don’t hesitate to get back in touch.

 * Since my code blocks are very long I didn’t like the idea of so much data being
   held in the database. I appreciate what you are doing though.
