 * So, I am currently using Custom Content Shortcode and my website now tells me
   to use this plugin instead. Is it as simple as deleting teh old plugin and activating
   this one? No other manual changes needed anywhere?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Chuckie! You can take a look at [this blog post](https://loopsandlogic.com/transitioning-from-custom-content-shortcode/)
   for a more thorough answer to your question, but the short answer is that, unfortunately,
   Loops & Logic isn’t just a plug-and-play replacement for Custom Content Shortcode.
   Instead, L&L is more like a reimagining of CCS and uses an HTML-like syntax that’s
   a lot more flexible than what CCS’s shortcode-based syntax allowed for.
 * The good news is that a lot of the query parameters you would have used in CCS
   are written the same way (or in a very similar way) in L&L. The other good news
   is that while CCS was only able to work with specific parameters/attributes that
   were built into the plugin, L&L is an extension of HTML which means that it allows
   you to work with all the standard HTML tags and CSS styling workflows that are
   well-accepted and conveniently documented.
 * If you decide to venture into the world of L&L, there are a some articles on 
   [the L&L blog](https://loopsandlogic.com/category/best-practices/) that should
   help you get started. And if you ever run into issues, there’s a small but active
   community to help you troubleshoot your markup over on [the L&L forum](https://discourse.tangible.one/c/loops-and-logic/9).
 * I hope that answers your question!

 * Thanks. One of my problems is that I installed the former on a client website
   sometime back. I don’t visit the site much and in all honesty I can’t actually
   remember why I installed your plugin on his site. Kind of embarrassing.
 * Is there an easy way to identify where I have made use of your former plugin?

 * I’m not an expert in the matter, but a quick search seems to show that there 
   are plugins for finding shortcodes used on your site such as [this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-finder/).
   Hope that’s helpful!
