   Hi! I am trying to create and make shortcodes work in Custom Fields. The code below works great.

   I am using More Fields plugin so instead of calling the value of the custom field using this code:

   <?php meta('features'); ?>

   I use this code instead:

   <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'features', true)) {
     $shortcode = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'features', true);
     echo do_shortcode("$shortcode");
     } else { echo ''; } ?>

   It works great except that it cannot properly output a shortcode within a shortcode.

   What I need to do is something like this:

   [paragraph][bold]This text is in bold.[/bold] This is the rest of my paragraph.[/paragraph]

   The code above properly outputs the [paragraph] shortcode but not the [bold] shortcode.

   Any suggestions? Thank you so much for the help.

   In case someone has the same issue. Here is the code to use:

   <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'features', true)); ?>
