If you’ve updated to Coda 2 and have been using the excellent WordPress Syntax Mode by Thorsten, you need to copy it (and any other modes you’ve been using) over to ~/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Modes/. It works just fine, but syntax highlighting is broken. To fix this (and avoid wading through too much code), I simply made a copy of the SyntaxDefinition.xml file in /Applications/Coda 2.app/Contents/Resources/PHP-HTML.mode/Contents/Resources/ and copied over the contents of the <keywords id="PHP4 Functions"> ... </keywords> node from Thorsten’s version.
Finally replace all instances of PHP-HTML in the file with PHP-HTML-WP, save the file as SyntaxDefinition.xml in ~/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Modes/PHP-HTML-WP.mode/Contents/Resources (replacing the old one) and restart Coda 2.
For convenience, here’s the whole updated mode package: PHP-HTML-WP.mode. Unzip and drop into ~/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Modes/.
NB: This is just a quick hack until Thorsten updates the original. I cannot guarantee this will work perfectly for everyone.
Awesome, thanks for this. I’m working on a fix now 🙂
Glad to be of assistance!
Thanks You so much !!!!
You’re awesome. thks !
Legendary! Saved me the trouble, ta
Thanks! Just was reading an article about the plugin being broken on Amber Weinberg’s site.
Grrreat. Thank you.
Hi guys,
I just switched to Coda v2 (from DW) yesterday – and I would so love to get the WP syntax into coda BUT … There is no folder under my application support called Coda – and naturally adding it, does not hep.
Could anyone be so kind to tell me how I do this?
Nevermind … Files were hidden – and not so anymore, thank you 🙂
Thanks for this a nice little short term fix!
Just a follow up there does seem to be a performance hit when using this. I get a fair bit of lack when typing using this syntax mode compared to the standard PHP-HTML
This seems to have broken with with 2.0.2… Had to revert back to PHP-HTML
New version 2.0.2 as broke syntax mode… grr
Oh shh.. I’m still on 2.0.1 (MAS version). Has anyone else the same issue ? I won’t upgrade if so..
Yes, I can confirm syntax mode broke with 2.0.2
Yes, with Coda 2.0.2 PHP-HTML-WP does not work fine. Any solution?

I have a Coda 2.0.2 working version here. https://github.com/deryckoe/Wordpress-Syntax-Mode-for-Coda-2
Yes, 2.0.2 broke the syntax mode 🙁
But thanks for the previous fix, Daniel 🙂
OK, I made a quick fix for Coda 2.0.2, the same way you used for 2.0, Daniel. http://scri.in/coda202wpsm
Does anyone know if this would work with Coda 2.0.7?
It’s working fine for me with Coda 2.0.7
Thank you. Excuse my beginner’s ignorance, but what is the difference between this file and this one: http://matthewwoodard.com/blog/wordpress-mode-for-coda-2
Nevermind. This is an earlier version of the same thing, its seems. sorry.
Thanks for the comments guys! Since I haven’t been actively using Coda 2 for a while, I’ve updated the post to point to the new versions by Matthew and Deryck.
Curious to hear what you use instead of Coda, and maybe why?
A lot of developers are using Sublime Text 2 and it’s a good one but I don’t like the look and feel of the App. That’s the truth, at least for me. I feel very “unfinished” in this aspect. Panic Coda 2 have some performance issues but I think it’s one of the best right now.
Sublime Text 2
I just released a WordPress syntax mode for Coda 2 that includes all WordPress 3.6 functions: https://github.com/tillkruess/Coda-WordPress-Mode
