# nested shortcodes problem

 * I have 2 shortcodes, 1 inside the other. The first is a shortcode that’s a form
   with prices for ordering prints. The form is the same on all my prints except
   for the title of the print. So I use that shortcode on all my print pages to 
   add the form and in that form I am adding another shortcode to get the name of
   the print like this…
 * <input name=”itemname” type=”hidden” value=”[page_title] 11×8 inch unmounted 
   print” />
 * It has been working really well but has suddenly stopped working. I’ve no idea
   why. can you help?
 * The form shortcode is a simple snippet type with the form code. The page title
   comes from a bit of php in the functions file and is also a simple snippet. At
   the moment [page_title] works everywhere else on the web site but not when it’s
   nested inside the form shortcode.
 * This is so weird because it was working perfectly. I wonder if an upgrade to 
   wordpress might have caused something to change?
 * Any ideas?
    thanks Denise

 * I’m not sure when, but I noticed my advanced shortcodes stopped working also.
   I think a WordPress update broke that feature. My simple snippets still work,
   but… broke means broke.
