 * First of all great plugin, super easy to use.
 * Question: Is there a way to use this with another shortcode?
 * so something like:
 * `[jsoncontentimporter url=url][button url={url}][/button][/jsoncontentimporter]`

 * Hi,
 * The pro plugin can do that, the free plugin not. The main reason is, that your
   syntax uses several [ and ] which will confuse WordPress as it does not know 
   where the one shortcode ends and the other starts.
