For example my example.com/sample-page/ is using [my_shortcode param="1"].
How can I get all the URLs of the pages that uses [my_shortcode]?
Is there an approach to achieve that?

I don't think there is already an implementation for this. You'd probably need to get all posts and check if the shortcode exists in each individually– keroCommented Sep 11, 2018 at 5:24

@kero I've shared my solution, now I'm solving how to get the shortcode params.– 5ervant - techintel.github.ioCommented Sep 11, 2018 at 5:39

Solution that I've found:
$pages = get_pages();
$pattern = get_shortcode_regex();
foreach($pages as $page) {
if ( preg_match_all( '/'. $pattern .'/s', $page->post_content, $matches )
&& array_key_exists( 2, $matches )
&& in_array( 'my_shortcode', $matches[2] ) )
{
echo $page->post_title . <br />;
}
}

1According to the docs, you should be able to simply use
get_shortcode_regex(array('my_shortcode'))and save yourself the trouble of comparing the$matches– keroCommented Sep 11, 2018 at 5:43 -
@kero Thank you.. but I can get the used params on
$matches[3]with that approach. Commented Sep 11, 2018 at 6:06 -
Yeah, but your regex is really expensive if you check for all shortcodes.
preg_match_all()might take a long time to execute, so using a simpler regex will probably make it alot faster– keroCommented Sep 11, 2018 at 6:22 -
WordPress has a function,
has_shortcode()which can be used for checking if a shortcode exists. Commented Sep 11, 2018 at 6:39
