 * Hi,
 * Is there anyway to remove all the shortcodes I have about 50 posts using shortcodes.
   I can’t edit every post to remove them.

 * What you are looking here is a search replace within all posts.
 * WordPress does not offer any native search replace for content within the posts.
   You might look into some Plugin which may offer such feature but before you do
   that, you should take full backup of your database just in case anything gets
   messed up.
 * I found these two search/replace plugins via google search
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/)
 * Disclaimer: I have not used above plugins, please be very careful with any search/
   replace operations, you must have backup for your database just in case.
