Descripción
KayzArt Live Code Editor provides a dedicated editor for building HTML, CSS, and JavaScript snippets with a live preview. It adds a “KayzArt” custom post type, opens new KayzArt posts in the editor, and adds an “Edit with KayzArt” button to the standard editor.
Features:
* Custom KayzArt post type and dedicated editor
* CodeMirror 6 editor with HTML/CSS/JS tabs and live iframe preview
* JavaScript ES Module support with execution type switch (Classic / Module)
* Setup wizard (Normal/Tailwind/Import JSON) with per-post mode lock
* Tailwind mode with on-demand Tailwind CSS v4 compilation
* Import/export JSON projects
* Per-post template mode control: Default/Standalone/Theme
* External scripts/styles (https only), live edit highlight, real-time DOM selection, and optional Shadow DOM isolation
* External embedding (enable in settings): [kayzart post_id=”123″]
* Allowlist for shortcode execution inside external embeds (one shortcode tag per line)
* Optional single-page disable for external-embed output
External connections and privacy:
* By default, KayzArt does not load external scripts or styles and does not send telemetry.
* External requests happen only when an authorized user explicitly adds external HTTPS URLs in KayzArt settings.
* Added external resources are requested both in preview and on front-end output where the KayzArt content is rendered.
* Add only trusted URLs.

Preguntas frecuentes
-
Who can edit KayzArt posts?
-
Users who can edit the post can use the editor. JavaScript, external scripts/styles, shadow DOM, external embedding, and single-page settings require the unfiltered_html capability.
-
Does KayzArt contact external servers by default?
-
No. External requests are disabled by default. Requests are made only when you explicitly configure external HTTPS script/style URLs in KayzArt settings.
-
How do I embed a page created with KayzArt?
-
Enable external embedding in KayzArt settings, then use [kayzart post_id=”123″] with the post ID of the page you created in KayzArt. For shortcode execution inside the embedded content, add allowed tags in KayzArt settings (one tag per line). Non-allowlisted tags remain plain text.
-
Can I disable the single page view?
-
Yes. Enable external embedding and turn on “Do not publish as single page.” Disabled single pages are marked noindex and excluded from search/archives, and the single-page request is redirected (or can be forced to 404 via the kayzart_single_page_redirect filter).
-
Can I switch between Normal and Tailwind modes?
-
The setup wizard lets you choose Normal or Tailwind. The choice is locked per KayzArt post.
-
Which Tailwind CSS version is supported?
-
Tailwind mode supports Tailwind CSS v4.
-
How does template mode work?
-
Each KayzArt post can use Default, Standalone, or Theme template mode. Default follows KayzArt > Settings > Default template mode. If Theme mode does not expose the_content in your theme, KayzArt preview prompts to switch to Standalone.
-
Can I change the KayzArt URL slug?
-
Yes. Go to KayzArt > Settings and update the KayzArt slug.
-
Can I set a default template mode for new previews?
-
Yes. Go to KayzArt > Settings and set the Default template mode (Standalone/Theme).
-
Does the plugin delete data on uninstall?
-
By default, KayzArt posts are kept when the plugin is uninstalled. You can enable data removal from the KayzArt > Settings screen.
-
Where is the code stored?
-
HTML is stored in the post content. CSS/JS and other settings are stored in post meta.
-
Where is the development repository and how do I build the plugin?
-
