Cleaning Broken vs Unbroken shortcuts

    I just have a question regarding the shortcode cleaner. I have a site on a private network that was developed over the last several years using wpBakery. I want to delete WPbakery and install elemental pro.

    I have also used other programs that insert shortcodes into the text. (So for example a nav menu). I want to keep those. So when I turn off wpbaker, the shortcode cleaner will clean just the broken (i.e. wpbakery) but leave the unbroken shortcodes right? I’m assuming I’ll be purchasing shortcut pro at some point. Most of the pages have two columns: the first column is a vertical nav menu (put into the page using the text field for WPBakery) and a second column. I know the columns will likely be gone, but if the rest of the unbroken shortcodes still work that is ok, I’ll just quickly create two columns in Elemental and drag the ‘working’ short codes into the new columns. Does that sound like what the Shortcode cleaner (or the pro version to remove from the database) will do?
    THanks.

    Hello,

    First: this free lite version will just clean up any broken shortcodes within the front-end content ONLY, not within the backend and database, but the PRO version does that.

    Second: the plugin will clean up any broken shortcodes only, but any active shortcodes will not touch it, so yes the plugin will clean just the broken (i.e. wpbakery) but leave the unbroken shortcodes.

    Third: you need to purchase the pro version only when you want to clean up your content within the backend/database not just within the front-end content.

    Regards
