Where Used Pro - WordPress Bulk Find & Replace for Shortcodes, Blocks & Page-Builder Content

Description

Bulk find-and-replace WordPress shortcodes, blocks and page-builder content in one click - with automatic backup.

You just migrated from Contact Form 7 to WPForms. Every page has [contact-form-7] in it and none of them work anymore. Or you renamed a Gutenberg block namespace. Or a plugin sunset a shortcode. Manually opening 200 pages to search-and-replace is a Saturday you'll never get back.

Why Where Used Pro beats the alternatives: Standard bulk find-and-replace plugins only touch post_content. Where Used Pro sweeps every source - post_content, postmeta, Elementor page-builder JSON, Divi shortcode metadata, Bricks Builder data, WPBakery serialized meta, widget content, theme mods, term descriptions, nav menus. And it makes a versioned backup before touching anything, restorable with one click for 30 days.

Works with the block editor and every major page builder

The rewriter knows the internal storage format for each page builder - replacements happen inside the JSON blobs correctly without breaking builder metadata. Gutenberg blocks are handled natively via block-delimiter parsing.

What Pro adds on top of the free plugin

• Everything free does - full scanner, deactivation guard, orphan detection, command palette, CSV export.
• Bulk find & replace - rename or update a shortcode/block/string across every source in one operation with live preview.
• Automatic versioned backup - every bulk operation creates a snapshot before writing. Restore any of them with one click for 30 days.
• Deep content search - search for arbitrary strings across posts, postmeta and options including page-builder JSON.
• Custom scheduled scans - hourly, twice-daily, weekly (free plugin is daily-only).
• Slack + email alerts - get pinged the second an orphan shortcode appears (usually right after a plugin update goes out).
• Multisite network view - aggregate usage counts across every subsite from a single network-admin page.
• Priority email support - direct line to the developer. Under-24-hour response guaranteed.

One-time payment. No subscription.

Better Search Replace by WP Engine is free but only touches wp_posts and wp_options. Search & Replace by Inpsyde is limited to strings. Advanced Custom Fields Migrator is $99/year subscription. Where Used Pro is one payment, lifetime updates, and handles page-builder blobs natively.

Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't save you at least an hour of manual work in the first month, refund - no questions.
