Description

Debug Bar Shortcodes adds a new panel to the Debug Bar that displays the registered shortcodes for the current request.

Additionally it will show you:

  • Which function/method is called by the shortcode
  • Whether the shortcode is used on the current post/page/post type and how (only when on singular)
  • Any additional information available about the shortcode, such as a description, which parameters it takes, whether or not it is self-closing.
    Want to control the additional information displayed about your own shortcodes ? You can! See the FAQ for more info.
  • Find out all pages/posts/etc on which a shortcode is used

This plugin is compatible with the LRH-Shortcode list and the Shortcake/Shortcode UI plugins. Additional information about a shortcode provided to these plugins will be taken into account and made available through this plugin too.

Why is it useful to have insight into the shortcodes ?

There are a number of typical uses I can think of:

  • If you are a blog author:

    • to know which shortcodes you can use in your posts/pages.
    • if you switch plugins or remove a plugin, to know in which posts/pages you need to remove/replace old shortcodes

  • If you are a web designer / web master:

    • if you switch plugins or remove a plugin, to know in which posts/pages you need to remove/replace old shortcodes.
    • to know which shortcodes you can use in theme files.
    • to avoid name conflicts for website specific shortcodes.

  • If you are a developer:

    • to avoid name conflicts with shortcodes registered by other plugins/themes.
    • to check whether your shortcode registers properly and whether the conditionals are applied correctly.

Important

This plugin requires the Debug Bar plugin to be installed and activated.
