problems nesting shortcodes

I have tried this as well with no luck…
[dynamictext* dynamictext-967 CF7_GET key=’i4w_db_FirstName’]

From what I can see your original source code is almost right, just your spare single quotes that enclose the double?ones.

This code:
[dynamictext* dynamictext-967 “‘i4w_db_FirstName'”]

must by changed for this one:
[dynamictext* dynamictext-967 “i4w_db_FirstName”]

The single cuotes are only for the shortcode parameters. Like this:
[dynamictext* dynamictext-967 “i4w_db_FirstName param1=’value1′ param2=’value2′”]

Please try it and post your results here for future reference.

here is a screen shot of my code…

Here is a screenshot of the result… Still not working!
There’s gotta be something silly I’m doing…

Notice that in my code, the line right above the one in question shows that the shortcode IS infact valid, and shows the output in the results img.

oops.. I thought I could insert images… silly me… sorry…
my code…
<p style=”font-weight: bolder;”>Busy Month [i4w_db_FirstName]?
[dynamictext* dynamictext-967 “i4w_db_FirstName”]

The result..
Busy Month Jacob?
input field with “i4w_db_FirstName”

is your shortcode returning the value through an echo intead a return?

post your shortcode, maybe the problem is there.

Please excuse my ignorance.. but
how do I ‘post my shortcode’?

I second Gonzalo’s suggestion – make sure the shortcode is returning not echoing the output

return $value;

not

echo $value

you can copy and paste your code into the forum between backticks or you can create a gist ??

I do not have access to the actual ‘code’.. just the shortcode.
it’s an i360 plugin… per the author, it only ‘returns’…
does that shed any light?

Are you sure that it’s a real shortcode, registered with add_shortcode, and not a plugin-specific shortcode?
