Installed. Found the shortcodes I was looking for. Nice work! Thanks Scribit.
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.
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 in the theme which was not customizable by any builder.
but by finding the shortcode in theme files i was able to customize as i want to
Very clean and useful plugin. Thanks you!
