 * Hi!
 * It seems like this plugin does not support passing a sortcode as an attribute
   in the shortcode..
 * I’m using another plugin called Post Snippets to save versioned URLs that I use
   in a lot of pages. And when trying to do this, the dropdown doesn’t behave as
   I want.
 * `[dropdownitem type="menuitem" link="[download_url]" ]Download![/dropdownitem]`
 * The [author of the Post Snippets Plugin ansered here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/order-of-shortcode-execution?replies=2#post-6587316)
   that passing a shortcode there needs to be implemented by this plugin..
 * So, is there any possibility to add support for that..?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi johanronstrom,
 * This is to inform you that nested shortcode support is there in the paid version
   of this plugin. But you are trying to implement the shortcode in the attributes
   and wordpress does not support this feature.
 * you can implement the following
    `[dropdownitem type="menuitem" link="#" ]Download![
   download_url][/dropdownitem]`
 * means you can pass the shortcode in the content not in the attributes. Please
   check the following link

 * Please feel free to contact us in case you have any other query.
 * Thanks
