Works nicely
by Richard Munter·1 year ago

Installed. Found the shortcodes I was looking for. Nice work! Thanks Scribit.

Very useful, a great tool for site builders

Clean, attractive user interface. Quite fast even on my Windows sandbox. Found every instance of every shortcode, including the one I was looking for 🙂

To use the “Find by Shortcode” option, I needed to increase PHP’s memory_limit to 1G, but that is not a problem.

WOW!

I use a lot of shortcodes, some of which I author myself. I just loaded [Shortcodes Finder ]and voila, here are all of my site’s shortcodes, which can be handily filtered if desired. The finder also lists other important and salient information about each short code. I’m definitely going to throw some $ in the author’s direction. Well worth it.

Help me a lot to find the shortcode.
