Simply upload the plugin and active it. It works out of the box and doesn’t have any configuration options.

I hope the developer continues to update it to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of WordPress.

Really impressed

Used with a block-based theme and it worked perfectly. Love that there is no configuration required and it auto-detects <code> and <pre> tags. Great plugin, thank you!

Awesome Blossom

Finally a plugin that works with the outdated "Crayon Syntax Highlighter" plugin So I don't have to mess around with every post.

Perfect. Automatic.

I tried to use this plugin in WP 5.0.2 and it works. I got an issue with Litespeed cache configuration and seems we should exclude this plugin javascript from an optimization process. Then you will be fine!

worked no problems
