Makanikaran Bulk Shortcode Remover is a point-and-click WordPress admin tool for cleaning up unwanted shortcodes from your database — no command line needed. An optional WP-CLI command is also included for developers who prefer scripting the process.

1. Admin UI (Tools > Shortcode Remover)

A built-in WordPress dashboard page lets any administrator run a bulk shortcode removal without touching the command line:

Enter one or more shortcode names (comma-separated).
Optionally filter by post type.
Run a Dry Run first to preview which posts would be affected — no database changes are made.
When ready, uncheck Dry Run and click Scan & Remove Shortcodes.
Watch a live progress bar as posts are processed in batches.
Review a full results table showing every post and its outcome (Updated, Skipped, No shortcode found, Error).

2. WP-CLI (optional, for developers)

Power users can use the wp remove_shortcode command for scripted or server-side workflows:

Dry-run support, post-type filtering, comma-separated bulk inputs.
CSV log of every processed post saved to wp-content/WPCLI_Shortcode/.
Optional automated database export prompt before changes are applied.

Using the Admin UI

Navigate to Tools > Shortcode Remover in your WordPress dashboard.
Enter the shortcode name(s) you want to remove (e.g. mcrypto, coinmc).
Select the post types to scan (leave empty to scan all public post types).
Keep Dry Run checked for a safe preview — no data will be changed.
Click Scan & Remove Shortcodes and watch the progress bar.
Review the results table. When satisfied with the dry-run results, uncheck Dry Run and run again to apply changes.

Using WP-CLI (optional)

Dry run:
wp remove_shortcode mcrypto,coinmc –dry-run
Actual removal (default CSV log):
wp remove_shortcode mcrypto,coinmc
Custom CSV output file:
wp remove_shortcode mcrypto,coinmc –output=my-log.csv
Skip backup prompt:
wp remove_shortcode mcrypto –skip-db-backup
Limit to specific post types:
wp remove_shortcode mcrypto –post-type=post,page
