### 󠀁[Great integration with WP Data Access](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-integration-with-wp-data-access/)󠁿

 [gerrybw](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gerrybw/) 29 June 2026

We have recently rebased our club administration heavily using WP Data Access. However
some usecases needed the ability of triggered hooks to run backend code including
building sanitised SQL queries. Code Manager has provided this support and a smooth
and secure integration with WP Data Access. We will also be using this to replaces
some handcrafted use of backend code in other areas of the new administration app
which we need to expose as shortcodes on the front end. One other reason for going
with Code Manager was great support we have had on questions to this team around
WP Data Access!!

### 󠀁[No Change Log for Plugin Updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-change-log-for-plugin-updates/)󠁿

 [mputman007](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mputman007/) 22 August 2024

This is a really great plugin, but it would be helpful if the developer would include
a changelog like nearly every other plugin developer in the WordPress universe so
that it is not a treasure hunt to figure out what was updated.

After having a good experience with WP DATA ACCESS, I decide to look into Code Manager.
Code Manager has helped get all my code organized. It supports HTML, PHP, JAVASCRIPT,
and CSS files. Actually, it will handle any program file. From the Code Manager 
interface, you can open several windows each with different programs open for editing.
You can disable a program if you are having problems with it. Code Manager is a 
great add-on for any user, especially Wordpress users that are using WP DATA ACCESS
for their table management.

 [markw1066](https://profiles.wordpress.org/markw1066/) 16 March 2022

Great plugin with excellent support from the developer. Makes customising any WordPress
page or post extremely easy. Documentation is excellent and includes example code.
A great tool for any WP Admin. Works well in conjunction with the WPDataAccess plugin.
Highly recommend!
