Confirm the action when prompted
What happens if I don't specify a timer duration?
The plugin defaults to 3600 seconds (1 hour) if no duration is specified.
How does the plugin handle HTML in code snippets?
The plugin uses wp_kses_post() to sanitize HTML content, allowing most standard HTML tags while preventing potentially malicious code.
