[Resolved] Conditional formatting not working how I would expect

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

Problem: I'm trying to test if the post type single name is equal to a specific string, but it's not working as expected:

[wpv-conditional if="( [wpv-post-type show='single'] eq 'Post' )" debug="true"]Test[/wpv-conditional]

Solution: Try wrapping the wpv-post-type shortcode in quotes, then adjusting your nested quotes like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type show="single"]' eq 'Post' )" debug="true"]Test[/wpv-conditional]

Hi,

I am trying to use the following code:

[wpv-conditional if="( [wpv-post-type show='single'] eq 'Post' )" debug="true"]Test[/wpv-conditional]

For some reason this is not working, I added debug in to see why but the debug code looks like it should work as it says Post = Post so the word Test should show up but it doesn't.

Any ideas why? What I am doing wrong?
