 * Hello, and thanks for a great plug-in!
 * Same problem here after upgrade to 5.0. Nested button shortcode in lightbox shortcode
   is no longer exhibiting expected behavior as before, but rather just linking 
   to the default Button url attribute (homepage address). Can see at my site, sonicboomracing.
   com, “View Roster” button is the culprit. The following nested shortcodes worked
   before to display a lightbox of team roster:

   background=”#63b6d7″ radius=”0″ icon=”icon: external-link”] View Roster [/su_button][/
   su_lightbox]
 * A workaround is to just delete button shortcode.

 * After update to 5.0.1 still not working.
    I use this combination with hundreds
   of articles, so i have to stay with unsecure 4.10.2 till this is fixed. 🙁
