 * Hi everyone
    (Michael too but he must not feel compelled to respond to every 
   support question here…)
 * Here in this thread [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcodes-inside-shortcodes/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcodes-inside-shortcodes/)
   
   it seems Ahmad figured out HOW to do another plugin’s shortcode inside a shortcode
   that we enter with Michael’s fantastic plugin. Sadly he didn’t write more than“
   do_shortcode”. Googling that brings up this excellent page [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcodes-inside-shortcodes/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcodes-inside-shortcodes/)
 * Sadly though I still don’t understand what we need to do to get it working?
    
   Anyone here knows? And can explain it like 1. 2. 3. DO that.. in that file… to
   non-geeks like me?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fthe-closed-thread-shortcode-inside-shortcode%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Given that you have a shortcode, in its PHP code, you can call another shortcode
   like this:
 * `do_shortcode('[some_other_shortcode]');`
