Paste Listing

Paste Layout

Controls the display style for every paste list: the archive, tag pages, profile Pastes and Starred tabs, collection pages and the BuddyPress profile tabs. Grid falls back to one column on narrow screens.

Value	Description
List	Single-column list with title, language badge, meta, and a code preview snippet
Grid	Multi-column card grid - useful for sites with shorter pastes

Setting key: paste_layout - Default: list

Pastes Per Page

Number of pastes to show per page on listing pages. Applies to:

• /pastes/ archive
• /pastes/tag/{slug}/ tag archive
• /pastes/user/{username}/ profile pages
• /pastes/collection/{user}/{slug}/ collection views

Setting key: pastes_per_page - Default: 20 - Range: 1–100

Custom CSS

Additional CSS

A free-form CSS textarea. Content is output inside a <style> tag on the front end - it applies to all SnipShare pages.

Use this for minor overrides without creating a child theme:

/* Example: widen the paste container */
.snipshare-wrap {
    max-width: 1200px;
}

/* Example: change the archive background */
.snipshare-archive {
    background: #f9f9f9;
}

Setting key: custom_css - Default: empty
