 * Hi,
 * Seeing all the issues with the migration, I’ve waited for something more stable.
   I’ve tried to upgrade this morning from 4.6 to 5.1 version.
    Unfortenately my
   nested shortcodes (Shortcoder shortcode within Shortcoder shortcode) no longer
   work. I then roll-back to the previous 4.6 version where nested shortcodes were
   working perfectly fine.
 * Thanks for fixing this issue in the coming future!

 * Hi [@brunoairam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brunoairam/),
 * Thanks for using Shortcoder.
    There is no active issues or issue with nested 
   shortcodes also.
 * By “not working” I would need some more info.
 * Any info on the screenshot of the shortcode content, what shortcode is nested,
   what is the final output etc would be helpful.
 * Thanks,
    Aakash

 * Sure. “Not working” means it displays just nothing.
 * Original shortcode, let’s call it [sc name=sc1]:
 *     ```
       [...]
       <li>Pôle-emploi - [sc name="Pole-Emploi"]</li>
       [...]
       ```
   
 * And [sc name=”Pole-Emploi”] is equal to:
 *     ```
       [...] Envoyez-nous depuis <a href="/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">notre page de contact</a>:
       [...]
       ```
   
 * When calling the original shortcode [sc name=sc1], it displays on the front-end:
 *     ```
       [...]
       <li>Pôle-emploi - </li>
       [...]
       ```
   
 * And that’s it. With the 4.6 vesion, it works fine. Hope it’s clearer.

 * [@brunoairam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brunoairam/), I tried the same
   and there is no issues I’m observing.
    Please see screenshots below.

 * I’m not sure why it is not working on your side.
 * May be please do double check everything/try creating one manually. Check if 
   no issues with the square brackets, name of the shortcodes etc.
 * If all checks are fine, then I have to only login and check. You can send your
   website URL, a temprary administrator username and password to my contact form.
   I’ll get back to you. [http://www.aakashweb.com/contact](http://www.aakashweb.com/contact)

 * Hi Aakash,
 * Not sure indeed why it’s not working on my end.
    I won’t have the time to duplicate
   the site and run some test and I can’t afford to upgrade as I have LOTS of nested
   shortcodes on my production site.
 * For now, I’ll stay with the version 4.6 that works perfectly fine. If someone
   else one day has the same issue, please think about posting a reply on this thread
   so that I can get notified. Thanks!

 * Sure !
 * Would it be possible for you to export the shortcodes in v4.6 and send it to 
   me ( aakash [dot] 19493 [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/).
   com ) ?
    I’ll run some tests in my setup.
