Can’t find WPBakery Page Builder shortcodes

Hi Oliver and thanks for contacting us.
Can you paste a content example here or send us to [email protected]?
Thank you in advance.

Example:

[vc_row full_width="stretch_row" el_class="some-class"]
    [vc_column width="1/3"]
        [vc_btn title="Some title" ...]
    [/vc_column]
    ...
[/vc_row]

[vc_row full_width="stretch_row" el_class="some-class"]
    [vc_column width="1/4"]
        [bsf-info-box icon="Some icon" ...]<p>Some text</p>[/bsf-info-box]
    [/vc_column]
    ...
[/vc_row]

The only shortcode your plugin finds in this case is [bsf-info-box]. This shortcode comes from an addon for WPBakery Page Builder. All other shortcodes in this example come from WPBakery itself (vc_row, vc_column, vc_button). FYI, I’m running this on my local machine.

A feature that would improve this plugin a lot for us would be a search function. So not listing all shortcodes but searching for shortcodes by name, attribute key and/or value.

Hi Oliver,
try the new 1.2.7 version of the plugin and your issue should be solved!

And if you want to support us please leave a plugin review ??

Thanks Scribit for the fast update.

It now finds WPBakery shortcodes. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be useful for large projects at the moment. All of our pages are built with WPBakery and most of them are translated into many languages via WPML at the moment, which results in a lot of pages with a lot of page builder shortcodes. In “find by shortcode” tab it found the first 5 shortcodes of WPBakery and stopped while loading the 6th with error: “Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded”.

It would be really helpful if it wouldn’t load all shortcodes by default but provide a search function and only list found shortcodes (searching for shortcodes by name, content, attribute key and/or value, etc.)

Would this be a feature to be implemented anytime soon?

Hi Oliver and thanks for the great suggestion. Maybe I will develop it in the coming weeks but I can’t give you a specific date.

Keep in touch.

Sounds great, thanks! ??

Hi Oliver,
I’ve just released the 1.2.8(.1) version with a simple search function. Now you can search for a specific shortcode inside your conetnts. It is also possible to search for all shortcodes but I understand that is not very usable for big website owners.

Let me know if it is ok for you and…I will be very happy if you leave a plugin review ??

Thank you for your very fast response and development time. The filter really helps me now and makes this plugin usable in our use case. Review done ??

Keep up the good work and maybe let me know once it’s possible to search for shortcode attributes and it’s values (the feature I’m actually looking for).

Thanks a lot!

I still am unable to find shortcodes inside other functions or inside the wp bakery page builder. Does your plugin support looking inside php files?

Hi @maven1129 . Are you talking abuot searching the shortcode calls made by PHP code?
Unfortunately the plugin search only in WordPress contents.
I will inspect on your request but I don’t think it is possible to satisfy it.

@maven1129 is it possible to have an admin access to your backend to test WP Bakery shortcode find functionality? (if so write me at: wordpress at scribit.it)
