    I’ve read some documentation that using the Gutenberg “Code <>” block you can insert PHP code into a block thusly:

    [php]
<?php
echo 'Hello World';
?>
[/php]

    However, the output of the block is the the raw code. Is this possible? Something i am missing?

    Hi @jlanpheer – what you’re seeing is correct. The Code block is used to display code, but not actually action it. If you’re hoping to include PHP functions to actually run – I’d recommend using a Code Snippet plugin like this one:
