Nested Shortcodes by Outerbridge

Description

A small plugin which allows you to use nested shortcodes (i.e. a shortcode within an enclosing shortcode) by implementing a simple “do_shortcode” filter as per the WordPress Codex to content and widgets – see Shortcode_API and do_shortcode

Installation

Install automatically through the ‘Plugins’, ‘Add New’ menu in WordPress, or upload the ‘nested-shortcodes’ folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Test by nesting a shortcode within an enclosing shortcode.

Thanks for sharing plugin. Was researching codex, found shortcode api info, but was confused as to how to code it. I'll tell my collegues about your plugin.

Exactly what I needed

I was confused why my image/media shortcodes weren't showing up in Post Grid plugin pages, and this solved it. Looks as if only one of the two shortcodes I have on the page are showing up, but otherwise this was exactly what I needed. Cheers!

Thank you

This plugin simply solves the problem swiftly and cleanly. Maybe there is a reason for not having it integrated in WordPress, but if there isn't, then it should be =D .
