MV Form Usage Finder for Contact Form 7
·
Search and find which pages, posts, or other content types use a specific Contact Form 7 form, by name or by form ID.
MV Form Usage Finder for Contact Form 7 solves a common headache for anyone managing a site with many Contact Form 7 forms: knowing exactly where a given form is actually embedded.
Instead of manually opening every page and post to check for a [contact-form-7] shortcode, this plugin scans your content and reports every location a form is used, complete with direct edit and view links.
Key Features
- Find by form or by ID — pick a form from a dropdown of all your Contact Form 7 forms, or type in a form ID manually.
- Page builder aware — scans every postmeta value on a post, not just post_content, so it detects forms embedded via the classic editor, the block editor (including CF7’s own Gutenberg block), and any page builder — Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, Divi, WPBakery (including its base64-encoded Raw HTML element), and others — without needing a maintained list of builder-specific fields.
- Works with hash-based shortcode IDs — resolves and matches the SHA-1 hash identifiers Contact Form 7 5.8+ uses in shortcodes, as well as the classic numeric ID.
- Flexible content search — choose exactly which content types to scan: Pages, Posts, Products, Testimonials, Jobs, Forms, Businesses, Events, Books, and Exhibitions.
- Clear results table — see the post ID, title, publish status, content type, and quick Edit / View actions for every match.
- Result count at a glance — instantly see how many locations a form was found in.
- Works with custom post types — searches beyond core Pages and Posts to cover custom content registered by other plugins (WooCommerce Products, Testimonials, Jobs, Businesses, Events, Books, Exhibitions, and more).
- Fast, targeted scanning — only searches the content types you select, keeping results relevant and searches quick.
- Simple, single-screen workflow — no configuration required; open Contact → Form Finder and start searching.
