Post code snippets in WordPress

Here is the simplest way to easily add source code to WordPress with the built-in TinyMCE editor. There are a lot of posts of people looking for a simple solution like this. And Many people wrote plugins, that don't really work. MoxieCode gets badmouthed for a poorly written editor. Well that's all pretty silly. All we needed to do is read some of TinyMCE's documentation and figure a clever CSS fix.

At the end, you'll be able to visually embed code just like:

 @ require('../../../wp-config.php');          

 function wp_translate_tinymce_lang($text) {
  if ( ! function_exists('__') ) {
   return $text;
  } else {
   $search1 = "/^tinyMCELang[(['\"])(.*)1]( ?= ?)(['\"])(.*)4/Uem";
   $replace1 = "'tinyMCELang[121]3'.stripslashes('4').__('5').stripslashes('4')";          

   $search2 = "/ : (['\"])(.*)1/Uem";
   $replace2 = "' : '.stripslashes('1').__('2').stripslashes('1')";          

   $search = array($search1, $search2);
   $replace = array($replace1, $replace2);          

   $text = preg_replace($search, $replace, $text);          

   return $text;
  }
 }
