Anything missing? Let us know – our goal is to find every WordPress block.

Quickly identify block types.

  • Filter found blocks by their “Block Provider”, narrowing the search results to individual plugins.
  • The amount of times a specific block type has been used on your WordPress website.
  • The posts/pages that a block has been used on.
  • The amount of times a block has been used on a specific post/page.
  • Check if the block is a “Synced Pattern (Reusable Block)”.
  • Check if the block is a “Nested Block”.
  • Check if the block is a “Template”.

How to get started?

Navigate to the Tools -> Find My Blocks Menu inside the WordPress Admin dashboard. You can then set your server performance, which will decide how many posts to scan at a time.

Once it’s done you’ll see all found blocks!

Questions

Will this work with custom blocks

Yes, this plugin will work with all blocks registered and used on your site.

Can it find WordPress blocks from uninstalled plugins?

Yes, you don’t have to worry about whether a third-party plugin is installed or not. Find My Blocks will look at all your WordPress posts. Old block names are still stored within the post, therefore they will still be located and listed for you on the results page.

What Post Types does it search?

Find My Blocks will automatically determine which Post Types have the WordPress editor enabled. Therefore only the necessary posts will be searched. You’ll be able to identify which post type each block belongs to on the result page.
