 * I was wondering if there would be a conflict for the plugin if I am attempting
   to use an eyes only short code within another plugins content restriction shortcode.
   
   I am using AffiliateWP’s Affiliate eyes only plugin. looks something like this
 * _[non\_affiliate\_content] _
 * content
 * [/non_affiliate_content]
 * [affiliate_content]
 * fb banner
 * WELCOME TO CONTENT
    [eyesonly level=”nation” logged=”in”] Content Here [/eyesonly]
 * [/affiliate_content]
 * WHEN I SAVE OR PREVIEW THE PAGE THE EYES ONLY SHORT CODE I AM GUESSING ISNT BEING
   RECOGNIZED AS SHORT CODE AND SHOWS UP ON THE PAGE AS IS SURROUNDING THE CONTENT
   I WOULD PREFER TO HIDE.

 * Probably that plugin is not rendering their content as do_shortcode($content),
   which means, if that’s the case, their plugin doesn’t allow you to put other 
   shortcodes inside their shortcodes.
 * Try reversing it, and putting [affiliate_content] inside [eyesonly][/eyesonly].
   Or contact that plugin’s developer and ask if their shortcode does do_shortcode(
   $content), and if not, ask them to make the change so that it will. It’s a very
   simple fix.

 * SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONSE. IT WORKS GREAT NOW. YOUR SUGGESTION FOR SWITCHING
   IT WAS THE ANSWER. AND I BELIEVE THEY MADE THE NECESSARY CHANGES AS WELL.

 * Some people live lives of urgency. Others of reckless abandon.
