I am using WordPress 4.6.1. What tactics can I apply to find all available shortcodes that come with WordPress OOTB. I am having trouble find this information on the web. various guides in the codex and outside of it use simple examples like [gallery], but I am curious to knowing what is my full available list.

Thanks

You could grep the 4.6.1 core codebase for all instances of "add_shortcode".

Alternatively, there is an extension for Debug Bar that will show you all shortcodes: https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar-shortcodes/

  • Thank you! Through Visual Studio Code I did a search through all files for add_shortcode and my answers showed up! Funny thing is that there are more now in the latest version of WordPress, then what is posted on the codex. Thanks again!

  • Yup - exactly why I suggested looking in the most current code instead :)

The Codex page has a list of built-in shortcodes: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode

  • For as fast as wordpress comes out with different versions...I'm not sure to trust the upkeep of the codex. But thanks

  • That's totally fair! I actually think WordPress is in the middle of revamping the codex too, so its a bit more of a mess than usual :)
