Page Builder plug in makes editing WP pages impossible (see screenshot / comment)

This question illustrates one of the many reasons NOT to use WYSIWYG page editors or builders, and to use a recommended workflow for WordPress. By using crapola 3rd party plugins, you set yourself up to be a hostage to whatever you’ve installed on your server. This is a website. You use paint for a painting, words for an essay, sound for songs, and you use code for websites.
Design – Hire a designer from a country where they can’t speak English, but they know how to draw with Crayons just as good as you. Demand a hard coded CSS theme for $30. Reject anything with database settings. Reject anyone who cannot produce a hard coded CSS theme. Pay me $20 cash and I will do this [hiring a proper designer for $30 bucks] for you in 15 minutes.

What 100% free WordPress theme, is specifically designed for posting code? [i.e. code highlighting, HTML char escaping etc.]?

Is there a .org theme specifically for CODE?

There are NO free themes DESIGNED for posting code in the .org repo. I think “any theme will do” isn’t the best answer. It’s not an answer to the question, but as others here mentioned, there are several plugins available. To which I would add embedding gists from github, which is the best answer I have.

I can’t believe there isn’t a theme in the repo for blogging about code! Anyone want to make one?
