<p>When working on themes and plugins you often notice a piece of text that appears hardcoded into the files, you need to modify it, but you don’t know what theme or plugin it’s in, and certainly not which individual file to look in.</p>
<p>Easily search through your themes, plugins or even WordPress core and be presented with a list of files, the matched text and what line of the file matched your search.<br />
You can then quickly make edits directly in your browser by clicking the link from the search results.</p>
<p>By default a consistency check is performed when making edits to files, this will look for inconsistencies with braces, brackets and parenthesis that are often accidentally left in.<br />
This drastically reduces the risk of breaking your site when making edits, but is in no way an absolute guarantee.</p>

If someone had read my mind

Great plugin


I've used this plugin now a dozen times to track down plugins conflicts for my customers. Truly one of the best debug utilities, up there with Query Monitor!


Great for support

Find and edit code or texts in your themes and plugins

Find My Blocks – Locate blocks on your site

This plugin is great. It does exactly what it says, and does it well. 5 stars.

Must-have for Gutenberg design/development

For example, if you want to use has_block you need to know it's name, which can be difficult to find. This plugin lists them all out, every one you've used, anywhere on a site.

Thanks!

Useful for finding the $block_name of a 3rd party block

It's a small and a very nice plugin, with the minimal UI it does the job nicely.

Very nifty plugin

Great plugin, does exactly what it needs to. Essential for Gutenberg/theme development, and the friendly and familiar GUI is great for clients too.

Essential for Devs & Clients


A must-have plugin to keep the number of Gutenberg blocks plugins to under control.


A must-have plugin


I had installed many sets of blocks to try out and ended up with a lot of overlap of block types and a mess of using a few blocks from one plugin, and a few from another, and a few more from others. Find My Blocks gave me a way to clean up the mess without the risk of removing blocks that content depended on.


A great help cleaning up blocks


I'm trying to overcome block debt to improve site performance and this plugin is such a lifesaver. It detects old blocks, current ones, tells where there's at with a link to edit the page... my goodness is this a timesaver.



You and all involved deserve major kudos for such an incredibly intuitive and easy-to-use plugin


This plugin is simply amazing.


This is one of those plugins you never knew you needed until you found it. I build large sites with complex custom block libraries and it does exactly what it says on the tin - it helps me find all the blocks across the site and, more importantly, shows me which blocks are not being used.



Grade A plugin - if you build large bespoke WP sites using vanilla or custom blocks, this is a must have.


Awesome plugin


If it happens that you need to change from one block plugin to another, Find My Blocks makes it easy to first find where you used the old plugin so that you can update it and your content isn't broken. 


Very Useful Maintenance Plugin

Find My Blocks will search and list all the blocks used across your WordPress site.
