Recursive Shortcode

The Recursive Shortcode plugin provides the [recursive-shortcode] shortcode for WordPress to use shortcodes in shortcodes (nested shortcodes).

Documentation

Just write: [recursive-shortcode]CONTENT[/recursive-shortcode]

The CONTENT is read by the parser, found shortcodes are properly executed.

The documentation, more examples and clues can be found on the project page.

Example

(From the banner. See above.)

[recursive-shortcode][icon name="[urlparam param="icon"]"][/recursive-shortcode]

First the inner shortcode (urlparam) is evaluated. The result inserted as parameter for the icon-shortcode. urlparam is from plugin URL Params. icon is from plugin Better Font Awesome.

If you open: https://yourlocation.lan/page-with-recursive-shortcode?icon=file-pdf

You’ll get the icon file-pdf.
