 * Hello, im new and i just installed wordpress in my own server. Im trying to paste
   some code in one of my posts, and ive been searching and i saw the posibility
   of using the tags:
 * > [sourcecode language="php"][/sourcecode]
 * Is this correct, ive done it in Code view, but it doesnt work… it seems as the
   tags are not enable or something else ive been searching and i dont know what
   to do, the version of wordpress im using is 2.3.1

 * If you want to use PHP in your pages/posts, just download the [Exec-PHP](http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/)
   plugin and activate it. With this plugin you’re able to use PHP-code (with the
   regular php-tags, not those you’ve mentioned).
 * Works like a charm for me!

 * Actually I believe the poster is trying to display PHP code, not run it within
   their site.
 * Chances are you’re looking at the instructions over at wordpress.com. Do note
   that anything found over there is site specific and does not apply to the regular
   version of wordpress.
 * I would suggest trying this plugin as it should allow you to do what you;re looking
   for:
