You'll want to approach your theme developer and see if they can enable that for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/nestled-shortcodes-will-not-work#post-52113 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:18:16 +0000 WebbPlatsen 52113@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your answer.</p> <p>A shortcode would be a much userfriendly for normal users instead of typing &lt;div class="foo"&gt;Lorem ipsum&lt;/div&gt;<br /> And with my shortcode I'll also have the possibility to have some params to get div with rounded borders, borders, colors etc.</p> <p>I will have one more look why this doesn't work,<br /> [my-shortcode]<br /> [gravityform id="1" ....... ]<br /> [/my-shortcode] </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/nestled-shortcodes-will-not-work#post-52070 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:13:02 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 52070@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It's not necessarily a Gravity Forms issue.. it could be how your other (parent) shortcode is built. Generally, nesting shortcodes isn't reliable.</p> <p>If all your parent shortcode is doing is "displaying a div with some properties" then why don't you simply write the div markup out around your form shortcode? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/nestled-shortcodes-will-not-work#post-52059 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 18:36:27 +0000 WebbPlatsen 52059@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a shortcode which display a DIV with some properties.<br /> When I combine my shortcode with gravityform shortcode the gravityform wont be processed but my shortcode will. Gravityform shortcode will be displayed like " [gravityform id="1" ....... ] "</p> <p>I will type following in my page;<br /> [my-shortcode]<br /> [gravityform id="1" ....... ]<br /> [/my-shortcode]</p> <p>Maybe Gravityform does not support this???h </p>
