 * Hello 🙂
 * I need some help with using a shortcode within a shortcode.
    I need tot retrieve
   a url from a query string which goes like this: [http://test.com/?website=example.com](http://test.com/?website=example.com)
   The example.com then needs to work as the wpws url.
 * Separately they work fine. Could you tell me how this could work?;
 * [wpws url=”[urlparam param=”website” default=”no website found”]” query=”.object-
   header-price” output=”text”]
 * Thank you very much.

 * Hi
 * Unfortunately it is not possible to nest shortcodes in that way. Please see this
