WordPress content can live in posts, pages, custom post types, block templates, template parts, synced patterns, navigation menus, theme files, and builder metadata. WEUX Content Finder searches these places from one admin screen and returns direct edit links wherever WordPress provides a safe editor target. #### What the free version searches * Posts, pages, and public custom post types * Block templates (`wp_template`) * Template parts (`wp_template_part`) * Synced patterns (`wp_block`) * Block navigation (`wp_navigation`) * Classic menu items when the active theme supports classic menus * Block theme template files and referenced theme patterns * Elementor page data, with a direct “Edit in Elementor” link when Elementor content is detected #### Block theme support For block themes, WEUX Content Finder can search files from the active theme: * `templates/*.html` * `parts/*.html` * referenced `patterns/*.php` Theme-file results link as precisely as WordPress allows. Template files open the matching Site Editor template, template part files open the matching template part, and theme patterns link to the template or template part where they are used. #### Editing workflow 1. Open **WEUX Content Finder** in the WordPress admin menu. 2. Enter the exact text you want to find. 3. Filter by content type when needed. 4. Review the result type, match count, snippet, status, and modified date. 5. Click the edit button to open the best available editor target. #### Keyboard access When the WordPress Command Palette API is available, WEUX Content Finder registers an “Open WEUX Content Finder” command. You can use the WordPress command palette shortcut and jump to the WEUX Content Finder screen. #### Optional Pro upgrade Search is free and unlimited. WEUX Content Finder Pro is a separate package that adds preview-first Search and Replace, ACF field search and replace, and batch undo. The WordPress.org free package does not include executable Pro mutation endpoints. ## Screenshots [⌊WEUX Content Finder search results with type badges, match snippets, and direct edit links.⌉⌊WEUX Content Finder search results with type badges, match snippets, and direct edit links.⌉[ WEUX Content Finder search results with type badges, match snippets, and direct edit links.

WEUX Content Finder searches posts, pages, public custom post types, and classic menu items when the active theme supports classic menus. Theme-file search and Site Editor deep links are only available for block themes because classic themes do not expose the same editable Site Editor entities. ### Does WEUX Content Finder work with block themes? Yes. WEUX Content Finder searches block templates, template parts, navigation, synced patterns, and referenced theme files in block themes. ### Does WEUX Content Finder work with Elementor? Yes. WEUX Content Finder searches Elementor page metadata and opens matching Elementor pages with an **Edit in Elementor** link when Elementor data is detected. ### Does WEUX Content Finder replace database search and replace plugins? No. WEUX Content Finder is an editor-focused content location tool. It shows where matching text lives and provides edit links. Database migration tools are still better for low-level URL or serialized data migrations. ### Can the free version replace content? No. The WordPress.org free version provides search and edit links only. Preview- first Search and Replace, ACF field actions, and batch undo are available in the separate Pro package. ### Does the free version search ACF fields? The free version may show a count-only notice when matching ACF fields exist, but it does not expose ACF field values or field-level snippets. Full ACF field search and replace is available in Pro. ### Does the plugin send search queries to an external service? No. Search runs inside your WordPress site. ### Does the plugin connect to an external service? Only if you open the license screen and submit a Pro license key. License activation, validation, and deactivation requests are sent to Lemon Squeezy for optional Pro licensing. The request includes the license key and the site instance name, which is based on your site URL. Lemon Squeezy terms and privacy information are available at https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/terms and https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/privacy. This is not required for free search. ### What capability is required to search? Users need the `edit_posts` capability to use search endpoints and the admin search interface. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WEUX Content Finder” is open source software.
