It automatically audits registered shortcodes from active plugins, themes, and custom code, and detects where they are used across posts, pages, custom post types, and widget areas. ### Key Features * **Automatic Shortcode Detection:** Discovers shortcodes registered by active plugins, themes, and custom snippets. * **Accurate Source Attribution:** Traces shortcodes back to their providing plugin or theme name. * **Usage & Location Tracking:** Shows exact content types, page titles, post IDs, and direct editor links. * **Unregistered Shortcode Auditor:** Instantly identifies orphaned shortcodes left behind by deactivated plugins. * **Unused Shortcodes View:** See which registered shortcodes are not found in your scanned content. * **Modern SaaS-Grade Dashboard:** Interactive visual status distribution chart, source breakdown, and top usage cards. * **Live Search & Instant Filters:** Search by shortcode name and filter by provider or status. * **One-Click Copy:** Copy any shortcode with a single click and immediate feedback. * **Scan History & Notifications:** Complete audit log and event alerts for plugin activations and deactivations. * **CSV Export:** Download a complete shortcode inventory with one click. * **100% Safe:** Uses read-only regex inspection. Never invokes shortcode callbacks or alters original content. ## Installation 1. Upload the `shortcode-monitor` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2.
