Switched slider, form or page-builder plugin and now some pages show `[old_slider id="3"]` as plain text? About to deactivate a plugin and want to know which pages use its shortcodes? Shortcode Finder shows you every shortcode and block on your site and exactly where each one is used.

Shortcode Finder Pro

$29 per year, single site

Everything in Free, plus:

  • **Bulk replace** – rename a shortcode across every post in one go, for example `[old_button]` to `[new_button]`. Attributes and enclosed text are kept.
  • **Unregistered-shortcode clean-up** – remove shortcodes whose plugin has gone, keeping the text they wrap or removing it too. Shortcodes that are still registered are never removed.
  • **Preview before anything changes** – see every affected post with a before and after sample, then apply. Every post is saved the normal WordPress way and a revision of its previous content is kept, so any change can be restored from the post's Revisions screen.
  • **Scheduled report** – a daily or weekly email to the site admin with the shortcodes that need attention and links to the posts that use them.
Try Pro free for 14 days
