Ignoring a shortcode

Broken Shortcode Fixer Beginner Last updated: October 6, 2026

Some shortcodes are registered only on the front end. They look dead to a scan but work for visitors.

What You’ll Learn

  • Ignoring from the Findings page
  • The ignore list under Options
  • Removing from the list

Ignoring From the Findings Page

Choose Ignore It on a finding, or tick several names and choose Ignore the Selected. The name is hidden and never reported or changed, even after a new scan.

The Ignore List Under Options

Under Options, the Ignore List is one name per line. A plain name is a shortcode, written without the brackets. Start a line with block: for a block, with its full name, for example block:acme/slider. Lines that start with # are skipped, and a line that is not understood is skipped with a message when you save.

Removing From the List

Delete the line under Options and save, or choose Stop Ignoring on Findings > Ignored. The name is reported again after the next scan.
