Sorry I didn’t address this earlier, unfortunately it is a limitation of the WordPress shortcode system.

However the parser will fail if a shortcode macro is used to enclose another macro of the same name
– Shortcode API: Limitations

My guess is that this could be a non-standard WP installation. Something that we used to have trouble with https://github.com/TheWebShop/bootstrap-shortcodes/issues/19, but was fixed by https://github.com/TheWebShop/bootstrap-shortcodes/pull/27

There has only been one breaking change in the history of this plugin, and it was almost 2 years ago, with plenty of documentation. https://github.com/TheWebShop/bootstrap-shortcodes/commit/cec203c80a7842489a1a3f3d703ff6e39e4b8026

Looks like this was resolved in https://github.com/TheWebShop/bootstrap-shortcodes/issues/43

You’re right, the grid would work fine for this. For example…

[bs_row class="row"]
[bs_col class="col-sm-4"]YOUR IMAGE HERE[/bs_col]
[bs_col class="col-sm-4"]YOUR IMAGE HERE[/bs_col]
[bs_col class="col-sm-4"]YOUR IMAGE HERE[/bs_col]
[/bs_row]

As tyrann0us said, it’s possible to add multiple grid classes and I’m sure that anyone who can figure out what adding multiple classes would do is comfortable writing it with their meat hooks.

Glad to say that SM is also the default grid size how.

In the future make sure to check github https://github.com/TheWebShop/bootstrap-shortcodes for issues and updates, thanks!

Well the “patch” is to not highjack the ajax requests like this theme was doing. I imagine he just found a better way to protect his admin area. I can’t really suggest a fix though, since in this theme all you would need to do is remove the hook noted above.
I would recommend searching for add_action('init' or /wp-admin in your theme to see if it’s the same problem, if yes, decide how else to do whatever those lines are doing instead of just wholesale blocking access to the admin files of WP.

The author of Classifieds Theme updated the theme to patch the problem. Are you experiencing a similar problem?

SOLUTION: the theme was using an ‘init’ hook to protect its admin area, but this was also redirecting anonymous ajax requests. When I can find a safe way to disable this without compromising the admin area I will post.

// stop users accessing the admin
add_action('init', array( $this, 'prevent_admin_access' ), 0);

function prevent_admin_access() {       

    if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), '/wp-admin') !== false) {
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); 

        if(!user_can($current_user->ID, 'administrator') && ( !user_can($current_user->ID, 'contributor') ) ){
            wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
        }
    }
}

Fair enough, I was really just hoping for how a theme might be able to get in the way of a an ajax request like this, so that I could search it out in the source myself.
