Nested Shortcode – PostID

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

Problem:
The user would like to use the wpv-post-id as a shortcode attribute of the view shortcode:

[wpv-view name='my-view-name' ids=' [wpv-post-id] ']

Solution:
The shortcode needs to be registered in Toolset settings. In Toolset->Settings->Front-end Content->Third party shortcodes.

Hello-
I am using this shortcode to access a view I have made.

[wpv-view name='my-view-name' ids=' [wpv-post-id] ']

Ids, is being used as a post ID variable. When I use [wpv-view name='my-view-name' ids='45154'], everything works fine. When I replace the ID with [wpv-post-id], it returns all posts and I see the '] in text on the page. What am I missing???

Thanks!

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset Support.

I believe that you need to register the wpv-post-id shortcode in Toolset->Settings->Front-end Content->Third party shortcodes. Even though the shortcode is from Toolset, but it needs to be registered so it can be used as nested shortcodes.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for getting back to me.

The issue is with Elementor. You cannot nest shortcodes using their shortcode widget. Once I put it in a text field it worked just fine.

Additionally, I removed the third-party shortcode registration and it is still working.

I am all set, thank you!
