# Shortcodes in snippets

 * First, I must say that this plugin is freakin’ awesome. 😀
 * My question is this: what should I expect when using shortcodes (from other plugins)
   within my snippets?
 * I’ve done some testing and gotten mixed results. Some shortcodes seem to work
   fine, others just display as bracketed text. None of these are two-word shortcodes(
   which I’m aware are not supported in WP4.4). I *do* have “shortcode” checked;
   I do not have PHP code or wptexturize enabled.
 * I’m wondering if it’s just dependent on the shortcode itself (maybe some are 
   coded better than others), if the snippets are not intended to support shortcodes
   and I just got lucky in some cases, or if it’s something I’m doing right/wrong.
 * Any advice would be gratefully received!

 * Hi,
 * Using other shortcodes in a shortcode snippet should work fine. Do you have any
   example of a plugin providing a shortcode that does not execute correctly from
   a shortcode snippet? If so I’ll take a look and see what the cause might be that
   it’s not working in that particular case.
 * Cheers,
    Johan
