 * Currently text that is within a shortcode (such as a column) does not linkify.
   See [here](http://stimhack.com/gnk-neutral-grounds-centris-quezon-city-philippines-15-players/)
   for an example.
 * I am using shortcodes to have multiple columns of text, but that does not work
   with the plugin.

 * [@sneakysly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sneakysly/) : v1.6 of the plugin(
   released just over a week ago) introduced the change that prevented text within
   shortcodes (both attributes and content) from being linkified.
 * While I believe text within shortcode attributes shouldn’t get linkified, text
   wrapped in a shortcode can probably get linkified. By way of example, for this:
 * `[caption name="TERM_A"]See TERM_B[/caption]`
 * TERM_A should not get linkified (even if matches one defined for the plugin) 
   whereas TERM_B should get linkified.
 * Is that what you were hoping for? Or were you expecting TERM_A to also be eligible
   for linkification?

 * Yeah I just want TERM_B to get linkified, and it currently is not. I have tested
   this with several different shortcode plugins.
 * Example:
 * [su_column]ThingIWantLinkified[/su_column] Does not work, but ThingIWantLinkified
   does.

 * [@sneakysly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sneakysly/) : I agree with that.
   The plugin did so previously so it should have continued to do so. v1.8 will 
   ensure that happens. I’ll follow up here when it gets released. (No ETA yet on
   it tho.)

 * Not to be a pest, but any chance of this getting fixed soon? I’ve got a project
   that would greatly benefit from this fix. Thank you!
