WEUX Content Finder

Description

WEUX Content Finder is a WordPress content search plugin for finding text across posts, pages, custom post types, Elementor content, Gutenberg block editor content, Site Editor templates, Full Site Editing (FSE) content, navigation menus, synced patterns, theme files, and supported builder data.

If you have ever asked “where do I edit this text in WordPress?”, WEUX Content Finder searches the places where WordPress content can actually live and gives you direct edit links wherever WordPress provides a safe editor target.

Use it as a WordPress search tool when the default admin search is not enough, especially for block themes, Site Editor templates, template parts, navigation, Elementor pages, and content that is hard to locate from the front end.

Find text in Elementor, Site Editor, and block themes

WEUX Content Finder helps locate text in WordPress content that is easy to miss with normal WordPress search. It can find text in Elementor pages, Site Editor templates, Full Site Editing (FSE) template parts, synced patterns, navigation menus, and block theme files.

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.

When to use WEUX Content Finder instead of database search and replace

Use WEUX Content Finder when you need to find where text appears and open the right editor. It is an editor-focused content locator, not a low-level database migration tool.

Database search and replace plugins are still better for serialized data migrations, domain changes, and bulk URL replacements. WEUX Content Finder is better when an editor, site owner, or agency needs to locate copy in WordPress and edit it safely.

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, find and replace workflows, ACF field search and replace, and batch undo. The WordPress.org free package does not include executable Pro mutation endpoints.
