How to Add Syntax Highlight to WordPress Blog?

by Vishal

The default blog template and themes on WordPress do not have syntax highlighting enabled by default. I post many code blocks in my post and needed syntax highlight.
I am new to CSS so tried many solutions and found Prism to be the easiest and working out of the box.

How to Add Syntax Highlights?

  1. Download CSS code of Prism
  2. If you are on a premium plan to WordPress, you can create your CSS code for the blog/website.
    css editor
  3. Paste the Prism CSS code here. That’s all!
