This plugin lets you enter a shortcode tag so that you can check to see if the shortcode is in use in a page or post on your site, and will display a list of pages or posts where the shortcode is in use.
Often times WordPress users will install a plugin to display some feature on their site. Usually these plugins will come with a [shortcode] to make displaying the content a little easier. Sometimes the plugin and shortcode works fine, but after a while you may find another plugin that works better, or simply decide that you don’t want the feature any more.
If you were to deactivate the original plugin without removing its shortcodes from your site’s pages or posts, you will end up with a lot of shortcode tags left over, which do nothing except for look funny on your site.
Figuring out which pages or posts have these shortcodes can be very time consuming.
With this plugin, you simply enter a shortcode tag and it will return a list of every page or post where that particular shortcode tag is being used. You can quickly jump to the edit page for those pages or posts to remove or edit the shortcode if you need to.
If you can’t remember all the shortcodes you want to check, try the Edit Screen Shortcode Lister plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-lister/) which will list out the shortcodes you have available to use on your site in the page or post edit screen.

Unused Shortcodes

MUST-HAVE for a WP site overhaul

A plugin to check to see if a shortcode is in use.

Shortcodes are everywhere on WordPress sites — in posts, pages, widgets, and theme settings. But what happens when a plugin is deleted? Its shortcodes often remain broken in your content, outputting raw text and cluttering your pages.
Foureyed Shortcode Control gives you complete visibility and control over every shortcode on your site. See exactly which plugin, theme, or WordPress core registered each shortcode, scan your content for broken ones, and manage their behaviour — all from a clean admin interface, without touching code.
<h3>What You Can Do:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Find Every Shortcode: See a complete list of all registered shortcodes and instantly know which plugin, theme, or WordPress core created each one.</li>
<li>Scan Your Content: Scan your entire post library to find orphaned shortcodes left behind by deleted plugins — see exactly which posts are affected.</li>
<li>Enable, Disable, or Silence: Disable a shortcode to let it pass through as raw text, or Silence it so it outputs nothing at all. One click, fully reversible.</li>
<li>Manage Orphaned Shortcodes: Silence orphaned shortcodes from removed plugins so they stop cluttering your content.</li>
<li>Lightning Fast: Zero impact on your website visitors. The plugin only runs in your admin area — no front-end overhead.</li>
</ul>

Foureyed Shortcode Control


Looks well-built and useful should the need to detect and clean up old/unused shortcode arise in the future. I love that it's built so the UI blends to native WordPress UI. Thank you for creating this!


Could be handy in the future.

See every shortcode on your site and where it come from. Scan posts and pages for broken or orphaned shortcodes, then silence them instantly.
