 * I am using a shortcode to quickly display user meta across text on my site. An
   example is [first_name] to display a registered user’s first name. However, while
   using the enclosing shortcode [content_control], the shortcode within an enclosed
   shortcode content is not processed.
 * For example, the [first_name] shortcode will not be processed:
    [content_control]
   Hello [first_name]! How are you?[/content_control]
 * I have tried to add this to the plugin, but was not successful: [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes/enclosing-shortcodes/#shortcode-ception](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes/enclosing-shortcodes/#shortcode-ception)
