Cannot render shortcode within another shortcode from View

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The shortcode [design-gallery] can be rendered if I put in the post/page but it can't be rendered if putting it in Content Template, what is the problem?

Solution:

Please try to modify this line of PHP codes, from:
return $content;

To:
return do_shortcode($content);

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a custom shortcode

[showwhenip ip="14.198.105.233"]
  [design-gallery]
[/showwhenip]

Below is code of shortcode [showwhenip]

function func_showwhenip($atts, $content = null) {
    if ($atts['ip'] == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) {
        return $content;
    } else {
        return "<!-- IP address is " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "-->";
    }
}
add_shortcode('showwhenip', 'func_showwhenip');

the shortcode [design-gallery] can be rendered if I put in the post/page but it can't be rendered if putting it in Content Template, what is the problem?

I registered the shortcode to Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content > Third-party shortcode arguments or Functions inside conditional evaluations but it seems not related.

Dear Luo Yang,

How can I do if my content including text and shortcode together? There is no problem from post/page.

Best regards,

Kelvin.

The WordPress function do_shortcode() will parse shortcodes insider variable $content, it should when you using content including text and shortcode together too.
