# Shortcode cross-reference

 * Is there a way to get a list of shortcodes and where they are used (a cross reference).
 * I appreciate that this isn’t really an issue with _Insert Pages_ but it would
   be useful to have not only for _Insert Pages_ but for all shortcodes to easily
   see where they all occur.
 * So, if there is a feature in _Insert Pages_ for doing this or if there is a plugin
   out there that does it, please can someone point me in the right direction.
 * Thanks.

 * Either of these should help:

   I’ve never used that plugin, though. Good luck!

 * Thank you [@figureone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figureone/) for your
   reply.
 * I tried using Shortcode Reference but it didn’t do what I wanted. Although it
   lists all shortcodes it doesn’t tell me where they occur. Also, I can see that
   I wasn’t sufficiently accurate in defining my original question as what I really
   want is a list of the shortcodes that I have inserted in an Edit Page panel (
   rather than all shortcods).
 * Anyway, thank you for your help.

 * My suggestion would be to switch to Text mode when editing a page (the Visual/
   Text buttons in the upper right of the editor), and then use your browser’s “
   Find in Page” feature to search for the opening bracket ([). This should highlight
   all shortcodes on the page, letting you look through them.
