Help with nesting shortcodes?

    I am trying to display text as follows:

    We will be open on May 21 & 24

    with “21 &” being hidden after 5 pm on May 21, and the entire line being hidden after 5 pm on May 24.

    I have tried:

    [time-restrict off=”2017/05/24 17:00:00″]We will be open on May [time-restrict off=”2017/05/21 17:00:00″]21 & [/time-restrict]24[/time-restrict]

    This displays as “We will be open on May 21 & 24[/time-restrict]” and does not hide “21 &” when the date has passed.

    [time-restrict off=”2017/05/24 17:00:00″]We will be open on May [time-restrict-2 off=”2017/05/21 17:00:00″]21 & [/time-restrict-2]24[/time-restrict]

    This displays as: “[time-restrict off=”2017/05/24 17:00:00″]We will be open on May [time-restrict-2 off=”2017/05/21 17:00:00″]21 & [/time-restrict-2]24[/time-restrict]” and does not hide “21 &” when the date has passed.

    Interestingly, the second version also displays in a different font than the first, which displays in the proper page font.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It should be in the form:

    [time-restrict on="2017/05/21 17:00:00" off="2017/05/24 17:00:00"]We will be open on May 24[/time-restrict][time-restrict off="2017/05/21 17:00:00"]We will be open on May 21 & 24[/time-restrict]

    These are two separate conditions and you can’t nest these shortcodes inside one another, so you need a shortcode for each condition.
