There is info in the WP docs about nested Shortcodes https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Nested_Shortcodes i found this information useful too: https://www.sitepoint.com/wordpress-nested-shortcodes/
Try this: (add it to the theme’s main functions.php file) add_shortcode( ‘products-counter’, ‘products_counter’ ); function products_counter( $atts ) { $atts = shortcode_atts( [ ‘category’ => ”, ], $atts ); $taxonomy = ‘product_cat’; if ( is_numeric( $atts[‘category’] ) ) { $cat = get_term( $atts[‘category’], $taxonomy ); } else { $cat = get_term_by( ‘slug’, $atts[‘category’], $taxonomy ); … Read more

The locate_template() function is intended to be used to locate/include template files, not functional files. Just use include() and/or require() to include functional files in functions.php.
Separate out your logic from the string you want to return: <?php // Adding a shortcode to return each author’s social media links function funcauthor_social( $atts ){ $meta_socialgr = esc_url(get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘author_goodreads’, true )); $output=”<div class=”authorsocial”><h5>Connect, Share & Follow</h5><ul>”; if (!empty($meta_socialgr)) { $output .= ‘<li><a href=”‘.$meta_socialgr.'”><img src=”http://fiddlehead.milkbossindustries.com/files/goodreads.jpg”></a></li>’; } $output .= ‘</ul></div>’; return $output; } add_shortcode( … Read more

If you’re using a class, it would be class MyShortcode { static $instance = 0; function __construct($args = array()) { add_action( ‘init’, array(&$this, ‘init’) ); } function init() { add_shortcode(‘myshortcode’, array(&$this, ‘shortcode’)); } static function shortcode($atts) { //this is the code of your shortcode // you can increment your counter self::$instance++; } }
To create multiple shortcodes, you can get the default values from a static attribut of the class. This code create 2 shortcodes myshortcode1 and myshortcode2. In the included files, you can read variables $_atts, $content and $tag class MyLittleClass { public static $shortcodes; public static function init() { self::$shortcodes = [ “myshortcode1” => [ “defaultValues” … Read more
It seems the function is broken.

This code still fails some of the tests used, but it completely resolves the issue I described, so I will use it unless I find something practical that it breaks.
