This is possible, but you can only nest one level down, after that the shortcode regexp parser flips out. So your example would be okay, but [item1] would not be able to contain even more nested shortcodes.

You need to wrap your code in a loop. Instead of if ( $query->have_posts() ) {, use: while ( $query->have_posts() ) { $query->the_post(); // Rest of code } wp_reset_postdata();

there isn’t an “space” in the Shortcode-Name. What you have, is an shortcode called “customcont”, that is providing an Parameter called “form”. So this is, how it should work: function example_shortcode( $atts = array(), $content=”” ) { extract( shortcode_atts( array ( ‘form’ => 0, ), $atts ) ); return ‘FORM TO DISPLAY IS #’.$form; } … Read more
