# Compatibility with ‘Insert Page’ plugin

 * Im looking for a way to create a shortcode that can be used in conjunction with
   the ‘Insert Page’ plugin. Im hope to be able to use the $$title$$ shortcode on
   one page and then have that page inserted into another page but the shortcode
   to display the title of the main page not the inserted one? If that makes sense
 * Page with Shortcode (Page 1) > New Page with Page 1 inserted using ‘Insert Page’(
   Page 2) > When viewing Page 2 the shortcode on Page 1 displays the title of Page
   2.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for using Shortcoder plugin. The parameters are designed to work on the“
   current context” i.e the current post. That is how normally the shortcodes used.
 * In your case, the entire “text” of page 1 is inserted into “page 2”. So the effective
   context is “page 2”. Hence the title of page 2 is seen.
 * I do understand that you expect page 1, but the shortcode does not know where
   it is inserted it can be anywhere, in widgets, menu, post, page etc.. It just
   knows the current context i.e page 2.
 * I would suggest follow a different approach to your problem or check with “insert
   page” authors if they have shortcode to pick title of different post.
 * Thanks,
 * Aakash

 * Thanks so much for the reply, I’ll seek an alternative method.
 * side note: is there a way for the short code builder to use WPBakery for designing
   short codes?

 * Hi [@ourcoastau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ourcoastau/),
 * Yes, we can build shortcode content using visual builder like elementor, WPBakery
   in the PRO version. [https://www.aakashweb.com/wordpress-plugins/shortcoder/#pro](https://www.aakashweb.com/wordpress-plugins/shortcoder/#pro)
 * Since this is a support forum for free version, we cannot discuss PRO version
   here as it is against WP rules. Please contact me at [https://www.aakashweb.com/contact/](https://www.aakashweb.com/contact/)
   for further queries regarding this.
 * Thanks,
 * Aakash
