I created a shortcode which display the employees, the HTML look somthing like that:
<ul class="employees">
<li><img src=""> <h5>name</h5> <p>description</p></li>
<li><img src=""> <h5>name</h5> <p>description</p></li>
..
</ul>
So I created 2 shortcodes:
[start_employee] – which contains <ul class="employee"> .. </ul>
[employee] – which contains content about the employee
And it should work like that:
[start_employee]
[employee img=".." name=".." description=".."]
[employee img=".." name=".." description=".."]
[/start_employee]
but when I put it in the wordpress editor the html look like that:
<ul class="employee">
[employee img=".." name=".." description=".."]
[employee img=".." name=".." description=".."]
</ul>
I think I know why.. because the fuunction of start_employee contain:
return '<ul class="employee">'.$content.'</ul>';
What should I do that it read it as a shortcode?
Thank you.
Shortcodes do not automatically nest — you have to call
do_shortcode($content)
yourself. See thecaption_shortcode()
example on http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API.You have to use shortcodes recursively to get the result.
If you have a recursive function set up, as in Cart66, you can do something like this:
