Hello and good day. I was wondering if this would also work in Post excerpts? I was able to get it to work in a page but not in a Post excerpt. Thank you and have a wonderful day! _Deyson http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nested-shortcodes/ Hi Deyson No, post excerpts don’t “execute” any shortcodes, HTML, etc. Regards ^Mike You can try adding these lines to the functions.php in your theme to enable shortcodes in excerpts, add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'shortcode_unautop'); add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode'); Thanks Colorcube. Those filters are theme only? The filters will work for plugins as well Thank you Cubecolor! 🙂 Ditto! I think I spoke too soon. It seems with the latest wordpress update my nested short codes do not work in Excerpts. I added the above code to my functions.php but no nesting works. Any advice? Thank you 🙂 Can’t see anything obvious from the list of fixes in 3.5.2 as to why that might be. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=3.5.2 I see what you mean. Oh well, I guess I will have to find another way to achieve me goal 🙂 Thank you 🙂
