Verify usage of Jetpack Blocks

  • Hi, I’m trying to figure out if I need the Jetpack Blocks module enabled on a client’s site. It does not seem to show anywhere but there are many pages/posts involved. Is there a db search that can be done or could this feature be added?

    Right now all I see is:
    “Caution: if there are Jetpack blocks used in existing posts or pages, disabling this setting will cause those blocks to stop working.”

    Thanks,
    Sergio

    Hi @bruceallen, thanks for the reply. I didn’t add a screenshot or the site like since it’s for a standard Jetpack feature.

    I’m happy to do a database search for whatever code the blocks use or whatever other options there may be.

    Best,

    Hi @seedsca

    If the caution message is being shown when you go to the Jetpack Writing settings, that message is always visible even if you aren’t using a Jetpack Block in your content. From your message, I understood that you are more concerned about the caution and were assuming that it’s only visible when there’s a block in use.

    I hope this clarifies things.

    Hi @muffinpeace thanks for the reply.

    I’m actually trying to see if there is a way to know if there are any of these blocks being used on the site. I am a developer and Core contributor, not shy about coding this up or looking into the database.

    I just don’t want to disable this feature and have some functionality break on the site. I assumed the warning just showed up, no matter what. What I was asking as a secondary thing was that the plugin could see if any of the blocks were being used and advised. So I would not have to try and dig into the db or user other methods.

    Hope my reply clears my goals up a bit.

    Hi @seedsca

    I’m actually trying to see if there is a way to know if there are any of these blocks being used on the site.

    I’m afraid currently, we don’t have a way to check this.

    But there is a plugin Find My Blocks, that can actually show which blocks you are using on a site and exactly where.

    If you want, you can install this plugin and then visit the Tools ? Find My Blocks option in WP Admin to check blocks.

    I hope it will help you. ??

    Thanks @bizanimesh that was very helpful! If you have the resources to, please add that as a feature request. It would be great if every plugin that added custom post types, blocks, etc would note if they were being used or not.

    Would be very helpful in keeping unused plugins/features out of sites.

    Best,
