 * Thanks for a promising and helpful plugin!
 * I am seeing one significant problem. It appears that the plugin doesn’t find 
   nested shortcodes.
 * I use the popular Avada theme on many sites and its Fusion Builder wraps content
   in its own layout shortcodes. So a Contact Form 7 form might end up looking like
   this:
 * >  [fusion_builder_container ]
   >  [fusion_builder_row] [fusion_builder_column ][
   > fusion_text] <h2 style=”margin-bottom: 1em;”>How Can We Help?</h2> [contact-
   > form-7 id=”294″ title=”Contact Us: How Can We Help?”] [/fusion_text] [/fusion_builder_column][/
   > fusion_builder_row] [/fusion_builder_container ]
 * But when I do a Shortcodes Finder search for “contact-form-7”, it’s not found.

 * Hi Larry and thanks for your compliments!
 * I cannot reproduce your problem with Fusion Builder plugin, but the plugin should
   support also the nested shortcodes.
    I test it now with a contact-form-7 inside
   an “Ultimate shortcode” shortcode and it works well.
 * Could you give me some other information or an access to your WP backend?
    Are
   the other shortcodes in your page (fusion_builder_container, fusion_builder_row,
   fusion_builder_column) shown in Shortcodes Finder plugin page?

 * Hi Larry,
    please update plugin to the new 1.2.5(.1) version. It should resolve
   your problem.
 * Give us a feedback (and also a review to the plugin if you want) 😉

 * BINGO! I can confirm that Shortcodes Finder 1.2.5.1 with recursive searching 
   finds LOTS more shortcodes including the “contact-form-7” ones I was looking 
   for. Thanks Scribit! You get my “Hero of the Day” award for January 23, 2019!
