 * Working fine to insert php. But all other shortcodes are broken and show the 
   shortcode without actioning them.
    No shortcode is used inside the php. The php
   retrieves various posts – the shortcodes in these posts work fine, just the ones
   for the page that are external to the php shortcode wrapper.
 * This is happening for a calendar plugin and a column shortcode. I have tried 
   with each separately and they both break. I am using version 1.3

 * TheOneTrueVlad, there are indeed conflicts that I hear about once in a while.
 * Putting the Insert PHP functionality between the [column…]…[/column] shortcodes
   is likely to be the reason.
 * You see, Insert PHP doesn’t use short codes. What appears to be a shortcode ([
   insert_php]…[/insert_php]) are placeholders for the plugin marking where the 
   PHP code starts and where it ends. The plugin uses the eval() function to run
   the PHP code and replaces the [insert_php]…[/insert_php] with any output the 
   PHP code may have generated.
 * That action may be interfering with the shortcodes you’re using.
 * Probably a decision will need to be made to either put the Insert PHP functionality
   outside any other shortcodes or to not use Insert PHP at all.
 * Will
