 * Hi nwsw,
 * Unfortunately you cannot use shortcodes in the Destination URL. It needs to be
   a well formed URL starting with http:// or https://
 * Cheers,
    Josh

 * I do so – such construction works in WP c Custom Content Shortcode plugin
    but
   does not work in your plugin – I think this is some kind of mistake.

 * Hi nwsw,
 * I understand this is something that their plugin does, but it isn’t something
   we’re planning on including in our plugin as it opens up too many security issues.
 * Hope you understand.
 * Cheers,
    Josh
