How To Take away Outdated, Unused Shortcodes Left Behind By Deactivated WordPress Plugins

That is one thing I run into loads when individuals’s websites…

Somebody will deactivate a plugin they have been utilizing beforehand utilizing and it leaves a nasty shortcode behind.

Right here’s an instance from this web site:

I used to be utilizing a plugin referred to as CovertPlug and utilizing a shortcode in or beneath all of my weblog posts to show optin kinds.

Once I deactivated and deleted the plugin, it left the shortcode on the backside of every submit –

Clearly, going by way of every submit individually and eradicating the shortcode left behind could be an enormous waste of time.

The straightforward resolution to fixing this drawback with out going submit by submit deleting shortcodes left behind by plugins is by putting in a plugin referred to as Remove Orphan Shortcodes (I do know, the identify of the plugin sounds a little bit miserable).

There’s no settings related to the plugin. Merely set up and activate it.

All the shortcodes left behind by plugins will now be deleted from all your posts and pages.

Clearly, your web site will look a lot better…
