I am trying to: nest shortcodes 3 levels

I expected to see: it working

Instead, I got: an error

I'll explain what I need and perhaps there is an easier solution. I have several post hierarchies, i.e. trees with at the top a parent with no parent, it's the root.

Once in the tree/hierarchy, I need to know what the root post is.

Sure, I can climb up, and that's what I'm trying to do, but for that to work I need the following which is nesting 3 levels.

[wpv-view name="get-course-content" ids="[wpv-view name='get-root-id-for-hierarchy' ids='[wpv-post-id]']" root="true" content="[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-course-content-type']"]

get-course-content : builds the tree based on the id its been passed

get-root-id-for-hierarchy : looks at the current post id, which is passed to it as the 3rd level nested shortcode [wpv-post-id] and it returns the root parent.

This last bit is where it crashes.

This works on its own and returns as expected [wpv-view name='get-root-id-for-hierarchy' ids='[wpv-post-id]']

When run within the other view it erros.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I will have to look at the error. Can you please share problem URL and what is your expected results.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
