Very useful, even with page builders
-
I was looking for an easy way to search for CSS classes in shortcode attributes.
E.g.[button css_class=".my-class"]Click me![/button]
Unfortunately this plugin is not capable of searching for shortcode attributes and it’s values (yet), but it was the closest I could find. I’m still rating this with five stars since it has nice basic functionality when dealing with shortcodes, just as the plugin description says.The biggest plus for me though is the active development and how the developer reacts on feedback. At first the plugin didn’t detect shortcodes from the page builder we use (WPBakery Page Builder). This was fixed quickly after a short support request. Then I suggested to not list all found shortcodes by default, but provide a real search function for those who need more granular results. Within no-time an update was released that at least provides a filter to select a specific shortcode and get all infos only related to this one. This really helps if your website contains a lot of shortcodes, which is the case if all pages are built with a page builder that is based on shortcodes (like WPBakery or Visual Composer). The whole content basically consists of shortcodes then. Listing all shortcodes from all pages won’t be as usefull in this case, especially if it’s a multi language website which then consists of even more pages.
The active development is promising to me and also makes it interesting for large projects.
Some key features for me at the moment:
- * Get a quick overview of all shortcodes (names) that are in use on your website
- * Get info on where each shortcode is located (page/post).
- * See whole shortcode, including attributes, values and content for each occurence
- * Find text that might be a shortcode but has no function, like [blabla] (e.g. find unused shortcodes because of plugin deletion)
- * Simple preview of rendered shortcodes with any attributes and content
I really hope this plugin will provide some real search functionality in the near future, like searching for shortcodes with specific attributes and values or shortcode content. Couldn’t find a plugin which is capable of that at the moment.
If anyone knows something like this please let me know.Another plus would be compatibility with multi language websites, to only show results for specific languages.
