nested Shortcode doesn’t work

Shortcode:

[permalink][title][/permalink]

Output:

<a href="foobar">[title]</a>

WordPress shortcode API sais, it’s correct:

Any Ideas?

  1. From the page you linked:

    The shortcode parser correctly deals
    with nested shortcode macros, provided
    their handler functions support it by
    recursively calling do_shortcode():

    You need to recursively call do_shortcode() on any shortcode handler that could contain nested shortcodes. So for example:

    function wpse18659_permalink( $atts, $content ){
        return '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="Permalink to ' . get_the_title() . '" alt="">' . do_shortcode( $content ) . '</a>';
    }
    
    add_shortcode( 'permalink', 'wpse18659_permalink' );
    

    That should handle nested shortcodes just fine.
