    I have two shortcodes. I want to show them in another.

    I have one shortcode “[post type=”content” id=”2″] and another is [post_id]. I want something like [post type=”content” id=[post_id]]. Because I am not getting any other way of showing the current post content using a shortcode.

    Thanks.

    Hi @ariyan0282,

    You can try the code below and let me know if it works for you.

    function custom_post_shortcode($atts) {
    // Extract shortcode attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'type' => 'content',
            'id'   => '',
        ),
        $atts,
        'custom_post'
    );

    // Check if [post_id] exists
    if (shortcode_exists('post_id')) {
        // Get the value of [post_id]
        $post_id = do_shortcode('[post_id]');
        
        // Set the id attribute to the value of [post_id]
        $atts['id'] = $post_id;
    }

    // Use the attributes to generate the desired output
    $output = "[post type='{$atts['type']}' id='{$atts['id']}']";
    
    return $output;
}

// Register the custom shortcode
add_shortcode('custom_post', 'custom_post_shortcode');

    Thanks
