You can use has_shortcode() on the current page's content to do that.

| Oct 20, 2022 at 18:36 | comment | added | Rick Hellewell | Sorry for a misunderstanding. If the shortcode is in the content, then I need to use wp_head/wp_footer actions to add additional code to the page when displayed, using any template. So if there is a way to 'sense' a shortcode before the page is output, that would be used instead of a custom template. | |

This just seems like a really problematic approach. Shortcodes typically go in post content so why are you using a shortcode in a template? And how are you determining where to put the shortcode? If you're just looking for the_content() then why not just filter that instead of copying the template?

| Oct 19, 2022 at 18:04 | comment | added | Rick Hellewell | @JacobPeattie The new template will be stored in the plugin's folder, and inserted via the template_include filter. So will survive a theme update. The new template will have a shortcode. I'm not sure if there is a way to 'sense' a shortcode and then use the wp_head/wp_footer add_action to insert additional code if the shortcode is in the page's content. That might be another question, though. (The shortcode requires additional code to function properly.) | |

| Oct 19, 2022 at 8:00 | comment | added | Jacob Peattie | If you're using a shortcode I don't understand why you need to copy the theme's template? If you need functions to handle a form submission then those don't belong in the template and you should handle it with action callbacks. | |
