Get List Of All Available Shortcodes

Wordpress shortcodes allow you to run a small function of code must by placing the name of the function inside a tag, such as [shortcode]. The best thing about Wordpress shortcodes is that you can use them anywhere in your Wordpress theme. They are very useful for running PHP code inside a Wordpress post on your blog. But the problem is that after a while of running your blog they can slowly start to become a large and unmanageable list of codes. This Wordpress snippet is a quick way of display all the Wordpress shortcodes you have available on your blog. All you have to do is create a new page in your Wordpress theme and add the following code.


<?php
        global $shortcode_tags;
        echo ''; 
        print_r($shortcode_tags); 
        echo '';
?>

If you want to turn this into a Wordpress plugin which creates a page for you to display all the shortcodes available all you have to do is use the code below to create your own plugin. Just create a new folder in the wp-content, in this folder add a new php file and copy the following code.


<?php
